Red Fujian Sample

Try a small size—about three servings—of our Red Fujian black tea. Click here to order regular retail sizes.

Made on a mountaintop farm at 3,000 feet elevation from the mei zhan cultivar, which produces large, slow-growing leaves, this black tea is a classic easy drinker. It brews up a seductive, deep brick-amber color in the cup; rich flavors of cocoa and dried fruit—think apricots and dates—last through several infusions. Enjoy the sweet aroma and pleasantly weighty texture.

Country: China

Approximately three servings

Tea like Grandmother Brewed

I can pronounce Swee Punch Nee Tea but it's not showing in google today. Perhaps it was only favored by Jewish Mitel-Europa Jews--Grandmother had a Russian looking, decorated tea pot that must have held 500 ml. My first response on tasting the Red was, "It's tea....as I remember it from childhood." It's not a sentiment I often experience: how authentic an experience could one have if he buys 120 tea bags that weigh an aggregate of 4 oz.

This tea is a splendid choice for breakfast or an afternoon tea if you drink tea as an accompaniment for baked goods or comfort foods. I had only a sample, so I am buying more of this so that I can try it at differing strengths. It has a completely lovely scent when brewing and is not bitter or alkaline. It might make a floral, subtle addition to a custom iced tea blend. I'd love to order more to find out.

Excellent tea, I only ordered the sample pack, but an excellent buy. Very smooth and well-rounded flavor. To me it's a little jammy, but not overpowering, and very tasty. I will be ordering more of this one.
