The dry leaves of a fine Jiuqu Hongmei are tightly twisted into thin, brittle curls, matte black, with a hint of the distinctive citric smell of red plum. Using a traditional process, this fine-quality black tea is infused with the delicate fragrance of jasmine flowers.
A very rare and famous tea from the Zhejiang Province of China, Jiuqu Hongmei black tea was first developed in 1926. It is called “red plum”/”Hong Mei” because of the reddish brew that it produces. It is a fine tea that rivals other high-quality teas since it is picked using the “two leaves and one bud” principle. This results in a brew that is warm and pleasing to the stomach.
