Wu Liang Hong Mao Feng Yunnan Black Tea

My kind of red

I've been searching for my "white whale" red for over a year now, and have finally found it with this one. It has the robust body you'd expect from a Dianhong, but with much more complexity and some of the higher notes that are typical of a medium-to-heavy roasted Dancong. I'm not sure if it's the "brief fermentation"---which I can only assume is a longer oxidation time---but this one has everything I look for in red. I've tried the 2024 and 2025, and they are distinctly different; with more higher floral notes in the younger leaves. But, it ages nicely (at least over one year) and both are thoroughly enjoyable. Please don't buy this tea so that I can have a steady supply ;)

Packaging and stuff are awesome as always. Thank you!

Great Tea Fast Delivery

I love the option to try so many different teas. My aim is to have a good range of teas with distinctive flavours. I have now settled on a collection of five black teas; five oolong teas; 3 green teas and 3 white teas. This would not have been possible without Yunnan Sourcing. I like distinctive flavours so it is always a treat to discover a new variety or character which offers a unique experience. My current favourites are Sweet Potato Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong; Red Plumb black; and 13year old Da Hong Pao. For a special treat it is hard to beat Middle Mountain Mi LAN Xiang Oolong.
