Produced using traditional processing methods and finished with pinewood open-fire roasting (松柴明火烘焙), this is a warming, steady, deeply traditional Hunan dark tea with a clean and approachable profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1154\" data-start=\"534\"\u003eThe name Jiu Long Chi (九龙池, “Nine Dragon Pond”) refers to a tea-producing area within Anhua County of Hunan, a county long regarded as one of the historic homes of Chinese dark tea. Teas from Anhua are prized for their ability to transform over time, developing richness, depth, and a smooth, comforting character. Jiu Long Chi, as a mountain-area origin within Anhua, evokes the cool, misty, forested environment that gives this style of tea its sense of clarity and regional identity. Even when the processing is traditional and robust, there is still an elegance in the tea that reflects its unique mountain origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1737\" data-start=\"1156\"\u003eThis tea is immediately appealing in both aroma and taste. The brick is tightly and neatly pressed, with an even surface and a handsome, substantial feel in the hand. Once brewed, the liquor is a bright golden-amber color, clear and lively in the cup. The taste is smooth, mellow, and grounding, offering notes of light wood, grain, gentle herbal depth, and a soft sweetness that carries through the finish. The pinewood roasting contributes warmth and structure without overpowering the leaf material, resulting in a tea that feels traditional, satisfying, and very easy to drink. It reminds us of a sweeter lapsang souchong but with more body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2228\" data-start=\"1739\"\u003eWhat makes this tea particularly enjoyable is its balance. It has enough body and character to satisfy experienced drinkers of Hunan dark tea, but it is also clean and accessible enough for everyday drinking. The mouthfeel is soft and lightly lubricating, with a calm, settled body feel rather than an aggressive or forceful energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2634\" data-start=\"2230\"\u003eThe infused leaves open into an attractive mix of stems and leaves typical of traditional Anhua hei cha.
