Buy black tea: Discover the world of Hong Cha at Arteamony
If you want to buy black tea that is much more than just a pick-me-up, then Arteamony is the right place for you. This tea has a tradition dating back over 400 years in China, where it is known as Hong Cha, or red tea – a reference to the fascinating, deep red color of the infusion. This name underscores the uniqueness of Chinese black tea, which stands out from the stronger, more astringent varieties from other growing countries due to its natural character.
Our mission is to offer you not just a beverage, but a piece of Chinese tea culture. We attach great importance to sourcing directly from the regions of origin to ensure that each variety meets our high quality standards. Unlike mass-produced teas, which often contain only tea dust, our black tea consists of carefully processed leaf material. Buy tea from us that guarantees purity and authenticity and immerse yourself in the world of unadulterated Hong Cha enjoyment.
The character of our tea: naturally sweet and malty
The aroma and taste of our Chinese black tea are determined by the unique fermentation process in China. It differs fundamentally from the strength and often noticeable astringency of many other black teas. It is naturally milder and has a pleasant sweet note. Connoisseurs appreciate the almost syrupy texture that caresses the palate. Experienced tea drinkers recognize the finest nuances and a rich aroma that unfolds with every sip.
This complex aroma and taste are characterized by the following attributes:
- Sweetness reminiscent of ripe honey or dried fruit.
- Malty tones that give black tea richness and body.
- A mild texture without any astringency.
- Subtle notes of chocolate or cocoa in varieties such as Dianhong.
Black tea owes its harmonious aroma and high quality to the ideal climatic conditions of the Yunnan and Fujian growing regions. Varieties such as Dianhong and Keemun are particularly known for their round flavor and remarkable sweetness, which promise an incomparable enjoyment.
Our range: Find your perfect black tea
The quality of black tea begins with the variety and the care taken during harvesting. We only offer varieties that consist of whole, carefully processed leaf buds or parts. High-quality black tea often has golden buds, which give the tea a special mildness and sweetness. This is particularly the case with Yunnan varieties such as Dianhong. After complete fermentation, it acquires its characteristic dark color.
Our range is designed to suit every taste and includes a wide variety of black teas:
- Loose black tea in premium quality, characterized by an optimal leaf-to-bud ratio.
- Portioned black tea for quick preparation and enjoyment on the go.
We make sure that each variety retains its unique character so that you can find exactly the black tea that meets your expectations of quality and enjoyment.
Tips for preparation and enjoyment
Proper preparation is the key to bringing out the full aroma and flavor of this tea. We recommend using soft, fresh water and heating it to a temperature between 95°C and 100°C.
The traditional Gongfu Cha method is particularly recommended for high-quality black tea. This method is characterized by short, repeated infusions, which allow the tea to develop its layers of aroma optimally and gently. You should note the following points:
- Rinsing. Pour off the first infusion immediately. This cleanses and awakens the leaves.
- Dosage. Use a higher amount of tea per volume. This is typical for Gongfu Cha.
- Steeping time. Start with 10–15 seconds. Increase the steeping time slightly with each subsequent infusion.
However, even with the Western method of preparation (longer steeping time), you should not steep the leaves for too long in order to preserve their mildness. Ensure precise dosage to guarantee optimal enjoyment. You can find all the details on preparing black tea in our detailed instructions.
