About This Tea
Ancient trees are found throughout China, Korea and Japan where their blossoms have been collected for making confections, liquors and sweet fragrant flower teas. We developed a special type of scented and aged Plum Blossom tea made by blending the fresh winter plum blossoms and Yunnan Dian Hong Red Tea. This tea is alluring and elegant while deep and strong. The taste and aroma are well integrated and balanced with a fine tannin structure. The tea has a unique floral aroma with tasting notes of dark cherry, sweet plum, marzipan and fresh Sicilian almond cream. This tea pairs well with rich foods and all types of sweet desserts.
