RW 5 very old tea tree – bing

Name: RW 5 very old tea tree – bing
Year: 2022 winter
Weight: 357 grams bing cake, produced 33 cakes

Details:
This tea taste is very convincing and I would have no doubt to drink it. Once you taste you simply want another and another cup to touch your lips. Noticable red wine notes. I would hardly drink tea after my lunch rather in the morning but I found out that this tea would fit the afternoon, even tea at five place.

This is a late autumn harvest, rather winter one, of selected very old tea trees, usually used for mind_switch, now I thought to make it into red WINE tea.  The tea is sun dried so that its taste may develop for at least five years. Most of it were pressed into standard cakes/bings. A small part available as loose, maocha “style”.

The colour of some tea leaves in the cake are almost red so it is perfect to call it a “hong cha” too or red tea. Still I think VeiAn’s black is simply red WINE and needs a special category to put into.
