Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Jiu Qu Hong Mei a unique black tea from Zhejiang?
Jiu Qu Hong Mei is unique because it is the only traditional black tea made in Zhejiang province, using the same Longjing #43 cultivar as the famous green tea but processed differently to produce a rich, fruity flavor with a red tea soup and no added scents or flowers.
How does the flavor profile of Jiu Qu Hong Mei differ from other black teas?
Jiu Qu Hong Mei offers a sweet, fruity taste with hints of dried fruits, plum, honey, and a whisper of cocoa, along with a strong, heady aroma. Its bright reddish infusion and smooth, lingering aftertaste make it distinct among black teas.
What is the recommended way to brew Jiu Qu Hong Mei for the best flavor?
Use a Yixing teapot or gaiwan, rinse with boiling water to warm the vessel, and steep 5-7 grams of tea per 150 ml of water at 212°F (100°C) for a few minutes. This method enhances the tea’s aroma and flavor, ensuring a delightful experience.
When is the ideal harvest time for Jiu Qu Hong Mei to ensure high quality?
The best harvest time for Jiu Qu Hong Mei is before and after Guyu, with quality diminishing if harvested before or after the Qingming Festival. Timing is crucial for achieving the optimal flavor and aroma.
What is the history and origin of Jiu Qu Hong Mei black tea?
Jiu Qu Hong Mei originated in the Jiu Qu area of Wuyi Mountain and was first developed in 1926. Brought to the Zhejiang West Lake area by a farmer from northern Fujian, it has since gained recognition for its unique production process and rich history, including winning a Gold Medal at the Panama World Expo in 1886.
