Schwarzer Tee

Our Final addition to Yangbi 2020 selection. Really fruity wild black tea produced in rich Yangbi terroir. One could even say it is a more affordable version of Laifufu's signature Wild Gushu Hong Cha.

Yunnan Lincang, China | 2020

This is an ancient tree black tea with leaves from 800–1,000 year old trees growing in the mountains of Yunxian at a 2,050–2,300 meter altitude. Yunxian is an area known for its gushu trees (ancient trees not planted by human hands). Usually leaves from such trees are made into sheng puerh, but this is a rare batch of hongcha (literally red tea, but called black tea in the west). This smells amazing with caramelized fruitiness lingering in the nostrils and a fresh feeling on the tongue. It’s almost like a fine dancong in appearance and fragrance but the liquor carries an exquisitely sweet and complex flavor while never becoming bitter. This is a tea to be drunk over the whole day through up to two liters of water. Warm, sweet, clean, refreshing: a perfect brew for fall. Due to their nature, gushu teas are only produced in limited quantities each year and hongcha gushus are even rarer, and so, quantities are limited!

The Sourenee garden specializes in organically grown tea. The tea has a greenish leaf with silvery tips. The height of over 1,600 m gives the tea a comparatively highly aromatic bouquet, flowery-sweet notes and a full-bodied, characterful pleasure. The name Sourenee is made up from word "Sour" for a kind of tree with healing power and "Rani" that can be translated as "the queen of the valley".

Dhankuta, Spring pick; green leaves with fine silver tips; greenish yellow tea water, tangy, flowery.

The garden Guranse is located in the Dhankuta Hills in East Nepal. From this altitude up to 2,400 meter, a fantastic quality is produced. Guranse is a Nepalese word for Rhododendron, the national flower of Nepal and flowery aroma does exist in this tea.

Brownish colorful leaves, middle part of tips. 

Medium-strong, floral aroma, light honey note.

Smaller, slightly twisted Maroon-colored leaves; tannic, spicy, lingering character.

Banaspaty stands for flora, fauna and trees in the local language. Thus the name appropriately reflects the variety of native tree species and the rich wildlife and birdlife found in the tea gardon, which was founded in 1905. It was also the first in Assam to be awarded as 'Elephant Friendly Tea Garden.'

Strong red-brown tea water; small broken leaf.

From the peak produce season (August-September), the tea can get its distinctive character, intensely tart and fruity flavor, which is not possible outside this season.
