This is, without a doubt the rarest tea we've ever imported - a bud-only black from a remote region of Hubei. It's tremendously delicious, with deep chocolate notes, and never before brought to the US. Our partner in Hubei usually makes just a single lot to sell to a buyer in Beijing, but we - through great powers of persuasion - have managed to snag a single case. Subtle, clear, and complex - this is a special one.
Limit one tin per person, please.
We aim to always sell tea for your everyday life - we have, in fact, said plainly that our teas are not to be hidden away and only brought out for company. This is, perhaps, an exception to the rule.
It is a very special tea - in fact, our Number One special tea.

This tea is all it's cracked up to be! I got a small tin of it and now I save it for our weekly "tech sabbath" days, in which we put away all screens for 24 hours and focus on all the finer things in life. This tea fits in perfectly with this special weekly day. I look forward to the screen-free day, and drinking this tea, all week!
I had my third pot after lunch today...savoring the after-glow now! A truly delightful escape from the crazy world of covid-19. As I slowly breathe in the delightful aroma --- "elegant" is the word that comes to mind. The fresh, springy taste is truly unique --- I want MORE...no, I NEED more!!!
I am a conoseieur of black teas and this is an excellent tea. Customer service and shipping were excellent as well.
This is a special tea. It's perfectly balanced which makes it an easy tea to wake up to, but complex enough to want to sit with it and savor. Sweet and smooth and has that touch of brightness/acidity that makes it interesting. Sometimes I'll add a splash of milk, which really rounds it out.
Little Red Cup has come up with two teas that are very different from the normal. First was the Rangsai Mountain green tea, which I like better with each cup I drink, and now the Special Black. This is a truly special tea. Very different for a black tea. Sweet, and mild, but with an excellent taste. Sold out now, but grab a tin if it shows up again.
