Whole leaves picked in late Spring, machine rolled. The Spring picking means there are just enough tender leaves to ensure that kneading can fully breakdown leaf structure and the moisture within, but also mature enough that the tea delivers its uniquely rich and deep mouthfeel.

The name refers to the red tea that used to be grown in the mountainous areas of Hefeng and Wufeng Counties and then carried on the workers backs for final processing in Yidu.
