This tea was formerly called "China Black Special." 

Tightly curled black and gold leaves steep up full and hearty, but without the astringency. Buried in the earthiness is a malty, sweet allure that always hits the spot.

Produced in the spring of 2024 in Mangbai Village, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. It’s a one bud, one leaf pick from a local cultivar growing at almost 6,000 feet. This tea is also known as Hong Luo or “Red Snail” (due to its appearance).
