Our Tong Mu Da Chi Gan uses tea leaves with a standard picking of one bud with two leaves that were grown in the Wu Yi Mountain National Reservation Area. The average height of this tea land is above 1000 meters. Thanks to the fertile soil, humidity, and altering temperatures, this tea releases a distinct flowery and honey-like fragrance. The fresh leaves are harvested around May, and it takes approximately 5 months for them to be fully processed. "Tong Mu" indicates where the fresh tea leaves are from, and "da" means "big" in Chinese, which implies the relatively big size of the tea leaves. "Chi" means "red" as the tea liquid is a red color, and "gan" means "sweet". 

The dry tea leaves of our Tong Mu Da Chi Gan are long and spindly, resembling that of a dan cong oolong. This is a vibrant, floral black tea with delicate, dark, and twisted leaves. The aroma is uplifting and bright with butterscotch candy-sweetness. Each sip is soothing and carries delicate notes of sweet pea flower, butterscotch, and honey. The tea is medium-bodied with a pleasant thickness that coats the mouth. The bright, golden orange liquor of the brew brings to mind a garden brimming with fresh flowers and butterflies. This tea is perfect for steeping any time of the year, but especially on rainy days or when you need a comforting pick-me-up.

If you are a typical black tea lover, this tea offers all the traits you are looking for, plus, it's much brighter and sweeter.
