Chilai High Mountain Black

 **After not being able to find a tea of this caliber from the area last year, we are happy to bring back this very popular tea. It was missed!**

This tea is a special one. Grown at 1800m in the Chilai Mountain region, from the moment you open the bag, you know that this tea is different. The candy-sweet red fruit flavors that this tea offers are only possible with highly oxidized high mountain tea leaves from this terroir. This year's production is one of the best we have ever tried. It is an unforgettable tea!

Many people consider this one of the best black teas they have ever had. We are counted among them.

Really really good

The description does not lie; this tea has a strong red candy-like fruitiness to it. It kind of reminds me of dancongs with their high elevation, but processed like a black tea. I could see this tea actually converting people to tea drinkers.

A treat of a tea!

Red Teas are my favourite so I absolutely had to try this and was not disappointed! As others have said: it's a flavour-bomb of berry sweetness - such a delight and perfect for pairing with cakes and biscuits. It's also the kind of tea that I think will convert friends who are not used to drinking gong-fu-type tea ;) Extra props to Matt at MST who got this tea to me super-fast after a mix-up with the initial order. Service here is always 5*

Davvero squisito!

Un tè scuro meraviglioso, non riesco a smettere di berlo! Dolce e pieno di aromi complessi

Delicious black tea

This was the first tea I got from Mountain Stream Teas, and it's a huge difference from bagged and loose leaf teas sold in Canada. I found this tea to be subtle, packed with multiple flavour notes. Lasts for 3 brews.
