Heavy Roast Autumn Flavored Black

This black from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique black tea offers a delightful symphony of flavors, beginning with a deep, ripe stone fruit sweetness. Notes of fresh, fragrant bamboo intermingle with a hint of smoky char from its charcoa. It sits in the "Stone Fruit" and "Roasted" and "Sweet" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans stone fruit and roasted and sweet.

Aim for water around 90–100 °C (195–212 °F). Western style: steep for 3–5 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s infusions for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. Most black teas can handle a full rolling boil, so don't overthink the water temperature.

This black is grown in Yunnan, China. This particular batch comes from the Autumn 2022 harvest. After picking, the leaves received a heavy roast, which shapes the final flavor.

Prices start at $83.00 through white2tea — that works out to about $0.41 per gram. A 200g package gives you roughly 33 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $2.46. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
