FAQs

Chinese dark tea, also known as "hei cha," is a category of tea that undergoes a unique post-fermentation process. This process results in a dark color and rich flavor profile distinct from other types of tea. Renowned varieties of Chinese dark tea include ripe Pu'er and Liu Bao tea, cherished for their deep, earthy taste and cultural significance.

Opting for dark tea, especially Chinese dark tea, offers a unique and flavorful tea experience that sets it apart from other types of tea. Dark tea undergoes post-fermentation, resulting in a distinct taste profile characterized by earthy, woody, and sometimes smoky notes. This fermentation process also enhances the tea's digestive properties, making it particularly soothing for the stomach. Additionally, dark tea contains beneficial microorganisms that contribute to gut health and overall well-being. With its rich history and health benefits, choosing Chinese dark tea adds diversity and depth to your tea collection and palate.

Dark tea has its origins deeply embedded in Chinese tea culture, with regions like Yunnan and Hunan renowned for their production. It holds significant cultural significance, often consumed by China's border ethnic groups as a staple beverage in their daily lives, reflecting centuries-old traditions and customs.

One of the most notable features of Chinese dark tea is that it tends to improve with age, but proper storage is crucial. Here are some recommended storage methods:

  1. Keep it ventilated: Store dark tea in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture and mold.
  2. Avoid odors: Store dark tea away from strong odors to prevent it from absorbing unwanted flavors.
  3. Store away from light: Keep dark tea in a cool, dark place to preserve its color and flavor.
  4. Keep it dry: Ensure storage containers are dry to prevent the tea from becoming damp or moldy; consider using airtight containers or aluminum foil bags.
  5. Regular ventilation: Periodically check the storage environment to ensure proper airflow, which helps maintain the freshness and quality of the tea.
    Following these storage methods can extend the shelf life of dark tea and preserve its flavor and aroma perfectly.

The caffeine content in dark tea can depending on factors such as the type of tea and how it's brewed. Generally, dark tea contains less caffeine than coffee but more than green tea. It's typically safe to drink dark tea in the evening for most people, but those sensitive to caffeine may want to avoid it closer to bedtime to prevent potential sleep disturbances. It's always a good idea to listen to your body and adjust your tea consumption accordingly.
