Huoshan Huang Cha
Warm and comforting, this tea makes an ideal companion for a moment of calm. Its golden liquor offers a rich, almost brothy texture, carrying gentle notes of chestnut and a subtle roasted depth reminiscent of coffee in a latte. As it lingers, soft hints of chocolate unfold, balanced by a touch of rye-like acidity that adds quiet complexity. A soothing, satisfying cup that nurtures both body and mind.
