In Lu'an, black tea is stored in baskets. This specimen is almost twenty years old. The thin black leaves have a noble aroma of antiquity, as if one were entering a castle full of ancient objects that have been abandoned for half a century. The cognac infusion has a mild flavor. A sweet and sour combination of beets, chamomile, dried tangerine peels and a hint of nutmeg. A light aftertaste of wine and liquor. Hei Cha fills the body with energy, clears the mind and sight, and has a gentle tonic effect.
