Yingde Black Tea- Yinghong No.9

$11.95

This fascinating black tea is made from the Yinghong No. 9 cultivar, with a floral aroma of honey and a hint of maple syrup sweetness. The taste is delicate and smooth without any astringency. The aftertaste is long-lasting with a malty sweetness.

Of all the Yingde black teas we have tasted, this Yinghong stands out for its exquisite taste and excellent durability: using the traditional brewing method, it can easily brew 15 infusions of tea. All in all, this is our favorite Guangdong niche black tea so far. We highly recommend it to tea lovers who like Yunnan and Fujian black teas.

Description

Yingde County
China’s handmade tea is mainly produced in Yunnan, Zhejiang, Fujian and Anhui, but Guangdong is the province with the most tea lovers. Although the province does not have a long history of tea cultivation, the humid subtropical climate and abundant rainfall make it an ideal place to grow tea. Therefore, locals naturally create their own unique tea to cater to local tastes.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Yingde County has become the best black tea producing area in Guangdong. Small-scale black tea farms have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the future is bright. Tea farmers in Fenghuang Mountain, Guangdong, have successfully produced oolong tea that is comparable to that of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, which has greatly encouraged tea farmers in Yingde.

Yinghong No. 9 cultivar
Yinghong No. 9 is a carefully cultivated tea variety, which was bred from Yunnan large-leaf tea trees in 1961. It was recognized as a provincial fine variety in 1986 and is highly praised for its early germination, long growth period and suitability for black tea production. It has a tall plant with a semi-open appearance, dense branches and large, oval leaves. The leaves are light green, shiny, slightly folded inwards, and have wavy edges. The petals are yellow-green and fuzzy, and each new bud has three leaves.
