This episode, James & Denny review a Hunan Heicha generously provided by Jonny. The tea is tippy, but brews quite smooth and the profile is some combination of oolong and pu’erh. Very interesting and enjoyable tea! Big thank you to Jonny for the tea!

Thanks for sharing the Hei Cha love! You are totally spot on with your appraisal and it definitely has a certain “Hunan-ness” about it that something similarly is found in Fu brick teas but can’t quite be described easily or put your finger on
Thank you Jonny for sharing. A fun, different, interesting tea!
