Product Overview
Hailing from the same mist-covered mountains as the legendary West Lake Longjing, Jiuqu Hongmei (Nine Bends Red Plum) is the most prestigious black tea of Hangzhou. Named for its thin, curved leaves that resemble red plum petals floating in a winding river, this tea is a hidden gem for those who find traditional black teas too bold.
Crafted from the tender leaves of the Longjing tea bush, it offers a sophisticated profile that bridges the freshness of a green tea with the mellow warmth of a premium black tea.
Advantages
- The “Sibling” of Longjing: Grown in the West Lake region, using the same high-quality tea cultivars as Dragon Well (Longjing) green tea.
- Unique Articulated Shape: The dry leaves are exquisitely thin and tightly curled into tiny hooks, resembling “Red Plum” petals or “Fish Hooks.”
- Natural Floral Sweetness: Naturally fragrant with notes of orchid and honey, without any artificial scents.
- Elegant & Mellow: Known for its low astringency and “feminine” grace, making it incredibly easy to drink.
- Artisanal Heritage: A classic tea with over 200 years of history, representing the pinnacle of Zhejiang black tea craftsmanship.
Sensory Experience
- Aroma: Subtle and lingering scents of dried flowers, honey, and a hint of baked sweet potato.
- Taste: Exceptionally smooth and clean. It features a refreshing sweetness (Huigan) that coats the throat without any harshness or bitterness.
- Appearance: The dry leaves are dark and wiry. Upon brewing, they unfurl to produce a bright, vermillion-red liquor that is crystal clear.
