Tian Jian 天尖

Hunan, China | 2013

This is a kind of Heicha that used to be specially made for the emperor and the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Tian '天' literally means heaven which means the emperor in the society run by kingship. As one of the renowned Anhua Heichas, Tian Jian was made with first grade Da Ye Cultivar from Xuefeng Mountain and went through a special final process, getting roasted with pine wood. Reminding of a well made Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, this special Heicha offers a deep and rich taste and flavor.
