Ning Hong Jhin Hao: lovely, rich China black tea.

Without doubt Ning Hong Jhin Hao lives up to the reputation of Keemuns as the 'Burgundy of Teas' however it is produced, not in Anhui but in Jiangxi Province. It has small neat leaves, indicative of the very finest quality. It is a delicate, smooth tea with a complex, warmly aromatic aroma. In the cup it is rich and biscuity with a rich winey character. Drink without milk. Very enjoyable! Use one teaspoon per person and one for the pot. Infuse for four minutes with freshly boiled water.

Tea from Grey's Teas

Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.

Sourcing our tea

Ning Hong Jhin Hao has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.

The benefits of loose leaf tea

This loose leaf tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!
