Black tea

In the mystical and beautiful Xiangxi region, clouds and mist envelop the towering mountains, and clear streams flow gently through secluded valleys. The Xiangxi black tea, born from this land of great beauty, is a perfect fusion of nature’s gifts and exquisite craftsmanship.
The process of making Xiangxi black tea is meticulous, involving several steps such as picking, withering, rolling, fermenting, and drying. Tea farmers carefully pick tender buds and leaves, then allow them to wither naturally in a suitable temperature and humidity, losing excess water and gradually softening the leaves. Experienced tea makers roll the leaves with just the right amount of force, causing the tea cell walls to break moderately, allowing tea juice to seep out, preparing for the subsequent fermentation. During the fermentation process, the tea undergoes a magical transformation under the guardianship of time and craftsmen, with polyphenols oxidizing to form unique color, aroma, and taste. Finally, through drying, the tea’s essence and quality are locked in.
The tea leaves of Xiangxi black tea are tightly rolled and have a dark, shiny appearance. The buds and leaves are thick and intact. Each leaf seems to have absorbed the grand and elegant spirit of Xiangxi’s mountains and waters, as well as the deep affection of nature’s generous gifts.
When brewing, the hot water and tea leaves intertwine, and in an instant, the fragrance fills the air. The scent carries the floral and fruity fragrance of the forests and mountains of Xiangxi, as well as a hint of the ancient, woody fragrance, as if it could lead one into a quiet ancient forest in Xiangxi, leaving one enchanted.
Take a sip of the tea, and you’ll find its taste rich, smooth, and harmonious. At first, the strong tea flavor spreads on your tongue, followed by a sweet and honey-like taste that gradually emerges. The aftertaste is long-lasting and lingering, as if telling the ancient and moving stories of Xiangxi.
Xiangxi Black Tea is not only a drink, but also a condensation of the scenery and culture of Xiangxi. It is the essence of the years of accumulation of local customs and ethnic sentiments. It carries the regional culture and ethnic sentiments of Xiangxi, allowing every tea drinker to appreciate the unique charm of Xiangxi in the fragrance of tea and feel the warmth and simplicity from the depths of the mountains.
