Tea Story

Feng Qing 'China Red' is a beautiful, gentle red tea from Yunnan, one of China's most renowned tea-growing regions. Grown in Feng Qing County, nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Himalayas, this tea is shaped by the unique terroir of the area. The region's high altitude, cool temperatures, and rich, fertile soils provide the perfect environment for tea cultivation. Yunnan’s diverse landscape, which includes both mountains and valleys, imparts a distinct profile to the leaves that is reflected in the cup.

The history of tea in Yunnan dates back centuries, with the region often considered the birthplace of tea. Feng Qing County has long been known for its exceptional tea gardens, where the local farmers continue to cultivate traditional varieties of Camellia sinensis sinensis. The method of producing 'China Red' is based on a long-standing technique that carefully oxidizes the leaves to develop a natural sweetness while retaining a subtle spiciness.

The tea's gentle honeyed notes and underlying spiciness make it a perfect representation of Yunnan’s ability to balance smoothness with complexity. The delicate flavors reflect the area's commitment to sustainable farming practices and traditional craftsmanship. Feng Qing 'China Red' invites you to experience the perfect harmony between the region’s rich tea-growing heritage and the delicate flavors shaped by its extraordinary terroir.
