Tongbai Red Tea

　　Tongbai Red Tea is a specialty of Tongbai County, Nanyang City, Henan Province. With its bright crimson liquor, pure honey-like aroma, and mellow, sweet taste, Tongbai Red Tea rivals well-known black teas both domestically and internationally in appearance and flavor, making it a rising star among China’s black teas.

　　“Tongbai Red” is an organic black tea brand developed in Tongbai County, the source of the Huai River. It is currently produced mainly in the Tongbai Mountain Heiming Temple Tea Garden—the largest certified wild mountain tea base in China—as well as in part from the Tongbai Mountain Sun City Tea Base. Leveraging the fresh leaves of summer and autumn tea from high-quality wild tea gardens, “Tongbai Red” is made from one bud with one leaf or one bud with two leaves. Through processes such as grading, withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying, it achieves a bright crimson liquor, a pure honey-like aroma, and a mellow, sweet taste. In appearance and flavor, it rivals well-known black teas both domestically and internationally, making it a rising star among China’s black teas. Especially as one of China’s rare organic black teas, it is considered particularly precious and refined. It has been rated as a high-quality product by the Ministry of Agriculture’s Tea Quality Testing and Evaluation Center, earning widespread favor among consumers.

　　In recent years, “Tongbai Red” has emerged as a new variety of black tea based on the processing techniques of Tongbai Mountain green tea, incorporating the production methods of Fujian black tea, and has been recognized by authoritative testing institutions of the China Tea Research Institute.
