Il tè rosso essiccato al sole (shaihong) è probabilmente il metodo originale di produzione del tè rosso, che utilizza la luce e l'energia naturale del sole per essiccare le foglie.
I was curious how sun-drying would change the flavor profile compared to the usual machine-dried red teas, and it really does taste brighter and smoother. Brewed a pot this morning and the leaves opened up beautifully, no bitterness even after a few extra minutes. This is my new go-to for a calm aft
The dry leaves have that lovely earthy, sun-baked smell before they even hit the water, and the brew comes out smooth with no bitterness at all. I’ve been reaching for this every afternoon since it arrived.
Brewed a cup this morning and the sun-drying really comes through — the liquor’s smooth with a soft, natural sweetness that I haven't found in other red teas. It’s a nice change from the usual roasted ones, and the leaves unfurl beautifully.
