Hei Jin (黑金) is a modern artisan red tea from Fujian Province, its name translating to ‘Black Gold’. It is distinguished by dark, almost black tea leaves with abundant golden tips and a unique sweetness achieved through deep heating with the addition of powdered sugar. The tea boasts a rich aroma of baked fruits, bread, and chocolate, a full, velvety taste, and a long, sweet aftertaste.
