Gu Shu Black Tea 古树红茶

Robust black tea harvested and produced in Bang Dong, Yunnan province in south-west China. The tea trees are gown in the wild in contast to tea plantation, free from human intervention; Gu Shu, meaning old trees (80 yrs +), means more complex and deeper root systems that can draw more nutrients from the soil, which leads to denser, more complex flavours, as well as the accumulation of beneficial contents.
 
This tea is produced in 2023, featuring a very floral, sweet, tropical fruity aroma, and an amazing sweet, soft and light and refreshing mounthfeel. It is one of the few teas that we recommend for making cold brew tea, which mades a naturally sweet and refreshing summer beverage (resembling rose/dry red wine), given the fact that it does not lose its particular fruity and floral aroma even when brew in cold water.
 
Black tea is a type of heavily oxidized tea made from the species of Camellia Sinensis, it has a higher oxidation level comparing to most other teas made from Camellia Sinensis, therefore presenting a darker colour, a generally sweeter tone, as well as a complex range of flavours that resembles fruits, flowers, and a special smoothness and a certain pectin like texture.
