TAIWAN, SHAN CHA - AMBER TEA

TAIWAN, SHAN CHA - AMBER TEA

$19.80

This is an exciting, oxidised red tea (or what we affectionately call amber tea). Shan Cha, meaning ‘mountaintea’, is a Taiwanese indigenous wild tea varietal that dates back to the 17th Century. Revered as the mother plant to some of the most unique tea hybrids, such as the famous Red Jade #18 developed by the TaiwanResearchandExperimentStation (TRES), it is now a protected national treasure. Shan Cha grows wild and isn’t cultivated like most other teas. Tea masters and pickers wake early during picking season to roam mountains in order to find this elusive leaf. Shan Cha is an incredible tea to wow and surprise black tea drinkers.

Available in 30 gram canisters.

For best results, brew at 90 degrees for 3 minutes. Use a dose of 1.9 grams for 100ml of water. The leaves can be infused three times. This tea is best drunk black.
