Spring Global Hongcha

This black from Guangdong, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique black tea, crafted from the Bai Ye Dan Cong varietal, offers a complex profile with distinct floral and honeyed aromatics. Expect a thick, pure taste with a pronounced sweetness and linger. It sits in the "Floral" and "Honey" and "Sweet Potato" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans floral and honey and sweet potato.

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 Guangdong, China and is made from the Bai Ye cultivar. This particular batch comes from the Spring 2025 harvest.

Prices start at $8.00 through Yunnan Sourcing — that works out to about $0.22 per gram. A 25g package gives you roughly 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $1.32. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
