#17 Feng Qing is a relatively new varietal first planted in the late 1990's. It's a hybrid of local Feng Qing Taliensis and Assamica. The leaves and buds are huge, and our pure bud pick is just large downy buds expertly processed with a light level of oxidation to produce a clean tasting balanced tea with notes of malt and chocolate. Sweet and thick-bodied tea that is hard to over-brew.

If you are a fan of pure bud teas that have malt and chocolate sweetness then this tea might well be the one for you!

Highly recommend

"The tea has a very unique taste, reminiscent of sweet bread. You can do around 7 infusions."

— Simona (5/5)

Wonderful tea

"This tea is so unique compared to what I’m used to. The flavor is smooth and earthy not strong but also not weak. I really enjoy this tea and will be back for more. This is great tea to introduce new loose leaf tea drinkers to."

— Timothy W. (5/5)

Juicy and Floral

"This tea is really excellent! You get undertones of maltiness while the floral character is the most bold. It's got a lot of natural sweetness to it -- even more than a nice jin jun mei. I think for my tastes I slightly prefer a tea with a bit more complexity, as the floral character is, again, extremely bold, and I like a deep maltiness in my reds. That being said, the flavors that this tea fronts and exhibits are actually remarkably pleasant, and it get 5-stars from me! I may, in the future, order more of this in a small quantity to share with guests, as its lightness, frutiness, and floral character would probaly shock a lot of people not familiar with silver needles or high quality red teas."

Wow

"Just tried this for the first time since receiving it. Wowwww is all I can say. This tea has a perfect sweetness to it as well as a thick mouth feel that’s hard to explain. It’s mildly malty as well almost the perfect amount of malty chocolaty taste in my opinion. Overall this may be the best black tea I have tried yet! Very enjoyable!"

— Marc m. (5/5)
