A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ
Story & history
From leaf processing to a red cup
This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.
Chuanhong belongs to Sichuan’s black-tea tradition. Withering, rolling, oxidation and drying develop its dark leaves and red infusion. Processing and brewing shape the aroma, so cups from different producers need not taste identical.
