BLACK TEA: Alpine Earth, China

Alpine Earth
Black tea, China

Flavour: cacao, rum, raisin ~ medium bodied

This high mountain black tea is grown in the famous Wu Yi Mountain tea-growing area in Fujian province, China.

Harvested in the 2024 Chinese Spring, these leaves infuse into a medium-bodied, rich and decadent black tea with notes of cacao, dried fruit, vanilla and barrel-aged rum. 

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 100°. Two infusions.  

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
