Ying De Hong Cha

Big leafed black Chinese tea from a cross-breeding between Assam- and Shui Xian tea plants, quite high quality. It has been produced since 1953 around the city of Yingde in central Guangdong (Canton) and it s more and more rarely produced, in the last years, however, in wonderful qualities. It combines the strongly malty note of the Assam black tea with the mellow and sweetish notes of a Shui Xian Oolong.
