Moychay Pasha Hongcha [Episode 282]
This episode Denny and I drink a very interesting and unique Hongcha from a Russian vendor, Moychay. The Russian tea scene is one of the largest scenes and in many ways surpasses the English speaking tea scene. Moychay is one of the largest vendors based out there and I’ve heard some people compare them to Yunnan Sourcing. The tea is from the Pasha area in Yunnan and processed as a Hong Cha (black tea). Big thanks to Yury for sending Denny and I teas to try.
