Red Tea (Black) Yunnan Red Pagoda owes its name and uniqueness to the particular shape in which it is modeled. The tea leaves, manually selected, are skillfully tied by hand to create a structure reminiscent of the silhouette of a pagoda, the traditional multi-level towers typical of Asian architecture. This artisanal processing not only gives the tea a distinctive aesthetic appearance but also enriches the sensory experience during infusion. When the "pagodas" of tea are immersed in hot water, they gradually unfold, offering a fascinating visual spectacle reminiscent of the blooming of a flower. In addition to the visual aspect, this particular shape also affects the aromatic and taste profile of the tea. The infusion produces an amber-colored drink, with a sweet and enveloping aroma characterized by notes of caramel. On the palate, the tea offers a soft and velvety sensation, with a smooth malty flavor enriched by a delicate hint of honey. The choice to shape the tea into the form of a pagoda is not only a tribute to traditional Asian architecture, but also represents a symbol of harmony and spirituality, values deeply rooted in Chinese tea culture. This combination of aesthetics, tradition, and craftsmanship makes the Yunnan Red Pagoda a unique tea, offering a multisensory experience that goes beyond simple tasting. Origin and Tradition: Yunnan is one of the most famous regions for tea production in China, with a tradition that dates back over 2,000 years. Its biodiversity-rich mountains provide ideal conditions for tea cultivation, thanks to a humid climate and fertile soils. The leaves used for Yunnan Red Pagoda come from the Yunnan Large Leaf variety, known for its rich and complex profile. After manual harvesting, the leaves undergo a careful processing process involving withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying. Subsequently, they are hand-molded into the iconic shape of a pagoda, which characterizes this tea both aesthetically and organoleptically. Aroma and Taste: The infusion presents an intense, clear, and bright red color. The aroma is sweet and enveloping, with dominant notes of honey. On the palate, the Yunnan Red Pagoda offers a soft and velvety sensation, with a perfect balance between sweetness and delicacy. A slight hint of lingering aftertaste completes the experience, giving the tea a unique and refined depth. Place of Origin: Yunnan, China. Infusion Method: We strongly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a Gaiwan with a capacity of about 100 ml. Following this preparation, with 5 grams of leaves, multiple infusions can be made to best appreciate all the flavors of the tea. After a quick rinse of the leaves with water at a temperature of 95°C, a first infusion of 10 seconds can be carried out and, subsequently, by keeping the water at the same temperature, one can continue to use the product by adding more water and increasing the previous infusion time by about 5 seconds (15 - 20 - 25 …). For a more traditional preparation according to Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 150 ml cup with water at 95°C for an infusion time of one and a half minutes. For a better tasting experience, we suggest straining the infusion as soon as the established maceration time is completed. The infusion times we suggest can also be slightly modified to suit personal preference for a more or less intense taste. It is advisable to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Benefits of Red Tea (Black): The category of red teas has the least impact on our bodies due to the stability achieved by the product thanks to its complete oxidation. For this reason, red tea is one of the most indicated options for those who want to have a calorie-free warm drink always available. Although in small amounts, the leaves of this category also provide polyphenols and minerals beneficial to the body without, however, delivering too much caffeine, thus promoting a pleasant relaxing effect.
