Yingde Chinese Black Tea

Introduction:
This Yingde black tea is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in Yinghong Town, Guangdong, at elevations of approximately 200 meters, the exceptional growing conditions impart a smooth texture and rich, layered flavors. The plucking standard of primarily one bud and two leaves ensures a full-bodied, velvety taste, with notes of caramel and cocoa, satisfying the palates of black tea enthusiasts.

• Core Production Area: Grown in Yingde City, Guangdong, where the average annual temperature is 20.7°C, annual rainfall is 1876.8 mm, average relative humidity is 79%, and the frost-free period lasts 316.7 days. The fertile acidic red soil, rich in organic matter and nitrogen, contributes to the tea's exceptional quality.
