Myanmar Black Tea

Brewing Method

Description

The Untamed Spirit of Shan State Myanmar’s tea heritage is one of the oldest in the world, yet it remains a discovery for many. Grown in the nutrient-rich soils of high-altitude gardens, these leaves are processed using traditional methods that preserve their rustic and bold character. This “Wild” Black tea is a testament to the pristine environment and the craftsmanship of the local Shan communities.

A Symphony of Flavors

• Aroma: A heavy, sweet fragrance of sun-dried fruits, damp earth, and dark cocoa.

• Taste: The infusion pours a deep, glowing crimson. On the palate, it is remarkably thick and rich, revealing layers of malt, forest honey, and a subtle hint of spicy bark.

• Texture: Full-bodied and velvety. It possesses a natural sweetness that balances its strength, making it satisfyingly bold without being overly bitter.

The Perfect Daily Ritual

• Adventure in a Cup: An excellent choice for connoisseurs looking to expand their palate beyond traditional Chinese or Indian black teas.

• Warming Energy: Known for its deeply warming effect, it is the perfect companion for rainy afternoons or cold mornings.

• Versatility: Its robust structure holds up beautifully to a splash of milk or a slice of lemon, though it is best enjoyed plain to appreciate its “wild” nuances.
