From Rishi Tea

Origin: Mingjian Village, Nantou County, Taiwan
Cultivar: TTES Hong Yu “Ruby” 18
Elevation: 500m
Harvest: May 2022
Barrel Aging Release: November 2022

This tea is the result of collaboration between our teams in Japan and Taiwan. The combination of Japanese whisky barrel aging and this amazing style of aromatic, spicy and fruity black tea from Taiwan results in unique and brilliant flavors.

We ship freshly produced, peak season black tea from Taiwan to Japan for barrel aging. After several months of storing and curing in Japanese whisky barrels, we import to the USA and release it before the autumn and winter tea season.

This just got here yesterday and probably needs to rest, but I just wanted to get a baby bead on it. Tasty enough; I do hope it settles in a bit. Reserving numerics for now.
