Sochi Golden Tea (Processed using Sheng Puerh technology)

Russian tea "Sochi Golden Tea" (Processed using Sheng Pu-erh technology)

"Sochi Golden Tea" is a unique Russian tea made from wild tea bushes grown in the Black Sea foothills of the Sochi Nature Biosphere Reserve. This tea is processed using the sheng pu-erh method, which imparts a rich flavor, deep aroma, and unique energy. Its loose leaf form and appearance are reminiscent of red tea, making it quite unique and appealing to tea connoisseurs.

Features of the region

Tea plantations are located at an altitude of 400-600 meters above sea level in the Krasnodar region, in an area completely free of human interference. This allows the natural purity and uniqueness of the tea leaves to be preserved. Clean air, fertile soil, and a moderate climate create ideal conditions for tea bushes to grow.

Features of the Sochi Harvest variety

Sochi Harvest tea bushes are wild-grown plants that are not subjected to artificial fertilization or processing. This imparts a unique depth of flavor and aroma to the tea, as well as makes it more resilient to long-term storage.

Characteristics of tea:

Appearance

The tea leaves are dark brown with golden flecks of tips. The leaves are large and evenly processed, indicating high-quality processing. The loose leaf form of the tea makes it convenient to brew and allows for better control over the strength of the infusion.

Aroma

This dry tea has a deep, rich aroma with toasted, smoky, buttery notes of red tea, wood, caramel, and a touch of earthiness. After steeping, the aroma unfolds, revealing hints of dried fruit, chocolate, and sweet spice.

Taste

The tea's flavor is a rather unusual combination. It tastes like a cross between roasted red tea and green sheng tea. The infusion has a rich, dark brown color with ruby highlights. The taste highlights both the buttery, smoky notes of roasted red tea and the green sheng tea. Warm notes of nuts, caramel, dried fruits, and a slight woody bitterness emerge. The finish is long, with pleasant sweet and spicy undertones.

Energy and Impact

"Sochi Golden Tea" has a warming effect and promotes relaxation. This tea is ideal for the cold season and for those who appreciate a calm and meditative tea experience.

Brewing recommendations

To brew Sochi Golden Tea, we recommend steeping it in a gaiwan or Yixing clay teapot. The water temperature should be around 95–100°C. The initial steeps should be short (5–10 seconds) to reveal the aroma and avoid excessive bitterness. Gradually, the steeping time can be increased. The tea can withstand up to 8–10 steeps, each of which reveals new facets of flavor.

"Sochi Golden Tea" is a unique tea that combines a rich flavor, deep aroma, and abundant energy. Its origins in the Sochi Nature Biosphere Reserve and the use of wild tea bushes make it a true treasure for tea connoisseurs. This tea will provide unforgettable moments of pleasure and allow you to connect with the ancient traditions of tea art.

If you're looking for a tea that will surprise you with its versatility and provide warmth and comfort, Sochi Golden Tea is an excellent choice.
