Using only small, delicate leaves harvested in spring, this premium black tea is hand-rolled over a charcoal fire for a nutty flavour.

Why we love it:

• It's the highest grade of black tea from the Qimen mountains of Anhui, China, made of small leaves for a smoother texture. 
• It's one of China's top ten teas (the only black tea to make it on that list), loved for its rich, chocolatey flavour. 
• It's hand-rolled over a charcoal fire, giving it a robust flavour with undertones of longan and red date, and the nutty aroma of walnuts.
• It's harvested in spring as one delicate bud and one small leaf, and goes through laborious processing to achieve the coveted aromatic notes.
• This cultivar is known to contain a unique essential oil prized for its calming effects.
