Huoshan Huang Cha

Beautifully cozy, this tea is the perfect companion for a relaxing break. The golden liquor feels rich, almost brothy in the mouth, with notes of chestnut, as well as a discernible, but not overwhelming roasted character, like that of coffee in a latte. In the aftertaste, mellow hints of chocolate linger on the palate, with the slight acidity of rye bread giving complexity to the enjoyment. A comforting experience for both body and mind.

Preparation

IN THE TEAPOT
  • Quantity: 6g / 500ml
  • Water temperature: 90°C
  • Infusion time: 4–5 min
GONGFU CHA METHOD
  • Quantity: 3g / 100ml
  • Water temperature: 90°C
  • 5 infusions: 45, 60, 75, 90, 120 sec

For best results in gongfu cha, brew in the traditional gaiwan or in a Yixing teapot. Too high of a water temperature would burn the leaves, resulting in a bitter taste.
