"Purple Voodoo" Purple Black Tea Cake * Spring 2024

gongfu · bing
"Purple Voodoo" is white2tea's annual cake-pressed black tea made from purple-leaf ("zi ya") Yunnan material. The purple cultivar yields a softer, more aromatic Dian Hong with floral and stone-fruit notes, and the cake format makes it a long-keeper rather than a quick-drinker.
