The “Xi Hu Hong Mei,” also known as West Lake Red Plum, is a distinguished black tea that holds a prestigious position among Chinese teas, with an A++++ grade that speaks to its exceptional quality. This unique tea is harvested from the core region of Xi Hu (West Lake) in Hangzhou, an area traditionally celebrated for its eminent “Xi Hu Long Jing” green tea.

In a fascinating twist of tea craftsmanship, the same leaves that might once have been destined to become Long Jing green tea are instead masterfully processed into this exquisite black tea. The transformation occurs around August when the tea leaves, imbued with the essence of the region, take on a new identity as “Red Plum.”

The profile of “Xi Hu Hong Mei” is reminiscent of traditional Gongfu black teas but with a distinct character. It offers a delicate dance of flavors, where the bitterness and astringency often associated with black teas are significantly subdued. In their place, one finds a remarkable, wild mountain spring-like sweetness, emblematic of the pure waters that nourish the tea gardens of West Lake.

This tea’s mouthfeel is robust and full, coating the palate with a lingering flavor that is both profound and harmonious. Its sweetness is not fleeting but resonates with roundness and depth, much like the fruit it is named after. The “Xi Hu Hong Mei” is a tea that invites contemplation, its taste evolving with each sip, revealing subtler notes and a complexity that is both refreshing and enduring.

Ideal for those seeking to explore beyond the well-trodden paths of green and black teas, the “Xi Hu Hong Mei” is a testament to the innovation and tradition of Chinese tea culture. It makes a splendid gift for tea aficionados or a luxurious treat for personal enjoyment, especially for those who appreciate a tea that is as rich in history as it is in flavor.
