Tea Garden

Yingde Black Tea, originating from Yingde City in Guangdong Province, is one of China's most renowned black teas. The region’s subtropical monsoon climate, abundant rainfall, and fertile soil create ideal conditions for tea cultivation. Yingde Black Tea is known for its rich aroma, smooth texture, and deep, mellow flavor. The tea leaves are carefully processed using traditional withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying techniques to enhance their natural sweetness and complexity. With its bright red infusion, honeyed fragrance, and long-lasting aftertaste, Yingde Black Tea is highly favored by tea enthusiasts both in China and worldwide.

Tea Features

Flavor


Yingde Black Tea offers a bold and refined taste. The top note presents a rich floral aroma, followed by a honeyed sweetness with hints of dark chocolate and malt. The finish is smooth and long-lasting, leaving a pleasant lingering warmth.

Leaves


The tea leaves are tightly twisted, dark brown with golden tips. Once brewed, they unfurl to reveal a soft, plump texture with an attractive reddish-brown hue, showcasing the tea’s superior quality.

Cup


Porcelain or glass teacups are ideal for appreciating Yingde Black Tea. Glass cups highlight its bright red liquor, while porcelain cups enhance the depth of its aroma and maintain warmth, allowing for a richer and more immersive tasting experience.

Brewing Guide

Teapot

Add 5-8 tea leaves per 100-300 milliliters of water (80°C water temperature). Steep for 1-2 minutes. This tea is suitable for multiple infusions, with each steeping offering a new layer of aroma.

Glass Cup

In China, it is common to brew tea in a glass cup. Simply place 3-5 tea leaves into the glass cup and pour in 80°C water to enjoy the refreshing aroma and taste. This method also allows you to observe the unfolding of the tea leaves.

Organic Certification

Packaging

For storing Lion’s Peak Longjing, it is best to use a tall, thick-walled porcelain or glass container to protect the tea leaves. In China, people also prefer to brew the tea in tall glass cups for an elegant experience. Another option is using a Gaiwan (盖碗) for brewing, where the leaves can be gently broken and placed in the Gaiwan for infusion.

Storage Recommendations

For best preservation, Lion’s Peak Longjing should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. A sealed tea canister or paper tea box is ideal for maintaining freshness. The container should be made of food-grade materials with high-quality moisture-proof features to prevent deterioration.
