Red Teas
Often mislabeled as "black tea" in the west, this rich, bright red brew has been waking up the English - and the Chinese - for centuries. One of the first teas traded on clipper ships around the globe, and at times more expensive than gold, Red tea has a flavor to match its reputation. The focus of traditional tea ceremonies, Red tea invites you to remember the ritual and meaning behind each sip.

Keemun, Anhui, China Spring 2009
Striking, perfectly even, needle-thin leaves give a bright red liquid, and a distinct blackberry note and a hint of cocoa. A light air of wood smoke permeates the cup, a bold red color with a classic golden halo are signs of this tea's top grade. There is no astringency, and this tea will only sweeten with each of its 15 steepings.
