Red tea from Zhejiang Province, from Lake Si Hu. The name of this tea is translated quite poetically as "Red Plum from the Nine Turns Stream."
In the 19th century, migrants from the northern neighboring province of Fujian, known for its red Xiaozhongs, brought tea leaf processing technology with them. During the production of Xiaozhong, there is a step called "go hun guo" or "passing through the red kettle." It involves a short but intense heating process, lasting 2-3 minutes at 392°F. Thanks to this processing, Jiu Chui Hong Mei acquired the characteristic color of Xiaozhongs and a "fiery" taste. However, due to the use of local cultivars, the bouquet of Red Plum became more complex and multifaceted.
