To produce this red tea, precious leaves from ancient tea trees 300 to 500 years old are used. One bud and 2 tender leaves are harvested by hand in April. The young leaves are dried, carefully rolled, fully oxidized and then placed on bamboo trays to dry in the sun. The flavor of the tea has the sweetness of ripe fruit, floral notes, woody notes and a slight aftertaste of red berries.
