This certified organic tea is a traditional qimen made from late spring fresh young leaves. Take time to enjoy the dark amber color and light orchid scent. The flavor is full-bodied with lightly sour fruit notes, without the heaviness associated with some black tea. The pure clean flavor of this tea is representative of good quality qimen.
