Zongedroogde rode thee (shaihong) is waarschijnlijk de oorspronkelijke manier om rode thee te produceren, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van het natuurlijke licht en de energie van de zon om de thee te drogen.
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.
