As the sweet fragrance of osmanthus drifts through Hangzhou's streets and lanes, autumn permeates every corner. At such a time, if you seek a serene retreat to boil water and brew tea, nothing complements the season better than a cup of black tea that embodies the elegance of Jiangnan. This autumn, Tongxinshe Teahouse is proud to launch its custom limited-edition "Jiuqu Hongmei" (Nine-Bend Red Plum), guided by the craftsmanship of intangible cultural heritage, inviting you to savor an exclusive autumn tea experience.
This limited-edition "Jiuqu Hongmei" is no ordinary black tea. Its roots trace back to the profound heritage of Zhejiang Province's Intangible Cultural Heritage—all tea leaves are sourced from the family of inheritor Feng Zanyu. Every step, from tea garden maintenance and fresh leaf picking to withering, fermentation, rolling, and drying, adheres strictly to the traditional techniques passed down through the Feng family: tender shoots with two leaves, plucked at dawn with dew still clinging, are gently withered in bamboo baskets under just the right amount of sunlight; during fermentation, temperature and humidity are carefully controlled by experience, allowing the tea leaves to naturally develop a mellow, honey-like sweetness; rolling requires even force to ensure tight, well-formed strips without damaging the tea's intrinsic qualities. It is this dedication to tradition that gives the brewed tea a clear blend of sweet potato and fruity aromas, with a long-lasting aftertaste, showcasing the highest quality of Hangzhou black tea.
We understand that fine tea deserves meticulous care, so we have put thoughtful effort into the packaging too. Abandoning excessive modern materials, we use traditional handcrafted paper packaging—moisture-permeable and gentle to the touch. Each package contains a precise 10 grams, perfectly suited for daily tea enjoyment. For brewing, take approximately 3 grams and place it in a covered bowl; after slightly cooling boiling water, pour it slowly to watch the ruby-red liquor unfurl gently, as its aroma rises with the steam. For the remaining tea leaves, we will gift a custom airtight bag—simply seal it tightly to keep out moisture and odors, ensuring every brew tastes as fresh as the first.
Autumn vitality often lies in a warm cup of tea. The limited-edition "Jiuqu Hongmei" from Tongxinshe Teahouse is available in limited quantities—it is both a tribute to the craftsmanship of intangible cultural heritage and an exclusive autumn flavor preserved for tea lovers. Take advantage of this autumn season to bring a package home: enjoy it alone to refresh yourself, or share it with friends. Let the charm of Jiangnan's autumn linger softly on your lips and tongue.
