Hong Yu Whisky Barrel Aged
About This Tea
This tea is the result of collaboration between our teams in Japan and Taiwan. The combination of Japanese whisky barrel aging and this amazing style of aromatic, spicy and fruity black tea from Taiwan results in unique and brilliant flavors. We ship freshly produced, peak season black tea from Taiwan to Japan for barrel aging. After more than 20 weeks of storage and curing in Japanese whisky barrels, we are happy to release our latest batch, which is vibrant, aromatic and boozy with hints of alluring spice and red dates.
