Yihong Black Tea has a history of more than 170 years, which originated in the 1820s in the Qing Dynasty. It is one of China’s top three congou black tea exports in history. Grown in a fertile environment and with a high yield, Yihong Black Tea is famous for its good quality and long history. Its dry leaves are compact and thin with showy white hairs in a shining dark color. The bright red tea soup presents a fragrant flavor and mellow taste. A phenomenon called cream down can be observed in tea soup sometimes. It means that the tea soup turns cloudy as it cools down and becomes clear again when it is heated.
