Black tea - Wild Fruits - The Call of the Forest: from the plantation to the cup

Yunnan black tea is grown in China. This region is known to produce many famous teas throughout the world. It is true that its climate is very favorable between heat and humidity. All the conditions are met to offer you an exceptional tea.

To develop their floral notes, Yunnan black tea leaves follow a strict 5-step transformation process:
- withering: the tea leaves are placed on racks in a ventilated room between 20 and 24°. Here, they will lose about 50% of their moisture;
- rolling: the wilting stage has allowed the leaf to soften, which will facilitate rolling. The more a leaf is rolled, the more the tea is full-bodied;
- oxidation: remember that black tea is an oxidized tea, so it must undergo a specific stage. The leaves are placed in rooms where the heat and humidity are controlled;
- roasting: this stops the oxidation. For about fifteen minutes, the leaves are heated to about 90°;
- the sorting: whole leaves or broken leaves, the tea is sorted into two grades.
