Deep Mountain Red is what many would call a black tea, named here for the deep amber colour of its liquor. Fully oxidized from the same ancient Snow Shan trees, it carries malt, dark honey and a mineral depth shaped by the mountain soil. It softens and sweetens across steeps, becoming warmer and more nuanced as the leaves open. As good in the afternoon as it is on a cold morning.

How to brew
How to brew
Around 3g of leaf with water at 195–212°F, steeped for 10–15 seconds. Pour out completely between infusions.
The first steep is the boldest, and from the third or fourth onward, the cup turns softer and sweeter. Re-steep 5–6 times. Holds up well to milk, if a few drops are your thing.
