About This Tea
What does Zi Sun Xiao Hong Gan taste like?
This distinctive black tea, encased in a small mandarin, delivers a lively interplay of bold tea notes with bright, aromatic orange peel. As it gracefully infuses, hints of dark chocolate emerge, beau. It leans fruity, chocolatey and herbaceous.
How should I brew Zi Sun Xiao Hong Gan?
Water around 90–100 °C (195–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Full boil is fine for most blacks. Don't overthink it.
Where does Zi Sun Xiao Hong Gan come from?
Grown in Zhejiang, China from the Echa 5 cultivar. This batch is from the Summer 2020 harvest.
