Origins
The appearance and name of Long Zhu black tea refers to the traditional Chinese method of making premium teas: rolling them into solid and neat Dragon Pearls of usually green and white teas, often with a jasmine aroma. Black rolled tea is a great rarity.
This Long Zhu black comes from the famous Fujian province, specifically a tea garden in the mountains of Taim. It lies at an altitude of 917m and is shrouded in fog and rain for at least half of the year. These conditions are perfect for the Chinese tea plant (Camellia sinensis). The tea leaves are harvested in spring when local women head out to the plantations. With careful and gentle movements, they pluck the youngest leaves, which go for processing. The tea is left to wilt, then fermented, roasted and hand-bottled into solid pearls. Finally comes the drying, sorting out and packaging. In China, they call black teas red, because of the color of their infusion. Although fermented teas (Hong Cha) are not very popular with the locals, the plantation owners take the utmost care of them. Their production is of exceptional quality and appreciated by many experts in the world.
