Nectar of the Bee

Old Tree Pre-Qingming Red Tea 2025
$23.00
Variant2oz

Description

I recently found myself drinking this tea day after day. It’s intensely flavorful, sustains a sensational mouthfeel, carries Dian Hong malty complexity and layered astringency. A pleasantly bitter finish gives structure to the tea. I like brewing it a bit lighter to emphasize the sweetness. The energy isn’t too stimulating for a red tea, but has more upwards energy than the other teas this season, ideal for late summer days when we’re still active and frequently outside. 

The name nectar of the bee speaks to the juicy thickness of the tea, and the pleasant sweetness. There’s a gentle buzziness to the energy that feels like bees tending to flowers.

Origin: Fengqing, Yunnan, China 2025

From the 2025 Autumn Seasonal Tea Club

Brewing Instructions

Brewing Method: We suggest starting with 3-4 grams as this is a strong tea, and decide if you want to brewer it stronger with more leaf. Favorite method is Sidehandle Bowl Tea for large satisfying bowls. For brewing method guidance, please refer to the Brewing Guide on Living Tea’s website.

Water Temp: 195D Fahrenheit

Steep Time: Very short initial steeping (2-3 seconds) then longer as the session progresses. Yields 8-10 nice full-bodied cups. The practice of short steepings is different than European tea whereby you steep the tea for a long time.
