Anhui tea

Teas from the Anhui region - a unique taste from the heart of China

Anhui teas are some of China's most prized brews, hailing from a picturesque province in the east of the country. Surrounded by mountains and forests, the region provides ideal conditions for growing tea bushes. Thanks to the unique microclimate, adequate humidity and fertile soils, Anhui infusions are distinguished by their refined taste and high quality, which are prized by connoisseurs.

What makes teas from Anhui province different?

Anhui is home to some of China's most famous teas, including the legendary black Keemun (Qimen) - a mild, elegant tea with a smoky aroma and hints of dried fruit. The region is also famous for its high-quality yellow, green and white teas, created using traditional methods with attention to detail. Products from Anhui are often compared to wines from a particular terroir - each batch has its own unique character.

Taste and properties of Anhui tea

Anhui teas not only offer exceptional taste, but also numerous health benefits. They contain natural antioxidants that promote immunity and protect against oxidative stress. Thanks to their moderate caffeine content, they have a stimulating effect, but do not cause irritability. Keemun - the region's most famous black tea - is milder than other Chinese black teas, so it is also recommended for those sensitive to intense infusions.

When is it worth reaching for Anhui teas?

Anhui teas are perfect for everyday and special moments. Keemun is great for the morning - it gently stimulates and brightens the mind, offering a subtle, complex flavor. Green and white teas - light and refreshing - are recommended for afternoon relaxation. Yellow teas, with a mild profile, will work well as a harmonious brew for quiet evenings or moments of tranquility.

Anhui tea - how to brew it?

Keemun (2.5 g / 250 ml) tastes best when brewed with 90-95°C water for 1-3 minutes. Yellow teas (1 teaspoon / 200 ml) are recommended to be brewed at 75-80°C for 3 minutes (Sunnon Yellow Tea) or at 90°C for 2 minutes (Yellow Buds).
