Honey Black Tea
Taste: Smoky, Honey, Malty
Serving: Each bag (3.9 oz) makes around 50 to 60 cups of tea, depending on your taste preference.
In the misty village of Wuyishan, people once burned Masson pine, to keep their tea dry during the damp seasons. What began as a simple solution turned into a quiet discovery: the smoke, combined with just the right level of fermentation, brought out a natural sweetness, like honey and roasted yam. Since then, the practice has endured. And each time you breathe in the scent of this tea, it’s as if you can still hear the soft crackle of firewood, echoing through the old wooden houses of the mountain.

Black Tea
Full oxidation transforms tea catechins into distinctive compounds such as theaflavins and thearubigins, giving black tea its deeper color and a different polyphenol profile from green tea. Human studies have linked regular black tea intake with improvements in endothelial function, the ability of blood vessels to relax and respond to blood flow, while theaflavins have also shown measurable effects on peripheral microcirculation.
Our Sourcing
Wuyishan, China
The Wuyi Mountains in northern Fujian are one of China’s most celebrated tea-growing regions. Steep rocky slopes, mineral-rich soils, frequent mist, and abundant rainfall create a cool, humid environment where tea plants can grow slowly and develop more concentrated flavor. The mountains also experience noticeable temperature changes between day and night, which helps the leaves build aroma while retaining freshness. Combined with the region’s long history of tea cultivation and highly refined processing traditions, these conditions give Wuyi teas their characteristic depth, mineral structure, and layered fragrance.

My favorite is the Honey Black Tea. I find it to be a Refined and balanced brew. I steep the leaves for 5 minutes and lift the basket thereafter to avoid over brewing. I find it to be smooth with a gentle depth. I can easily sip two cups and after the third a do feel a lift in energy. It has a lingering aftertaste, easy on the palate without any taste of astringency. A very special tea indeed!

I've tried many black teas, and this one is one of my favorites. It has the smell of honey, smoky, roasted flavor. It tastes sweet, but there's no sugar! I enjoy making it as a cold brew. I drank it so often the bag emptied out so quickly! I will repurchase.

This loose leaf black tea is beautifully smooth. It has a delicate sweetness.
The second brew still strength and flavor. Add one more teaspoon to your pot if you prefer more strength.
No sharpness or bitterness, but rather a lingering taste. This is the best black tea I have drunk, by far !

My friend gifted this tea after her trip to Los Angeles and I am hooked! As a tea lover, never tried this rich combination of tea before. So glad that I could buy it online. Definitely a five star product.

This was the first bag I purchased from their stall at the farmers market in Alhambra. It is very clean and flavorful when cold brewed, and is a great cold pick me up in the afternoon.
C
Unique sweet flavor. Very bold tea. I love dark teas with big flavor profiles. This tea wins for both aspects.I can drink with a tiny bit of honey or on its own (I am not a sweet tea drinker. I prefer my tea and coffee without sweetener.) I purchased this to share with my neighbors because it’s so good and unique. It’s taken the place of my coffee on most mornings!

Amazing tea, has replaced my daily cup of coffee in the morning

Incredible, especially as cold brewed tea. Refreshing, crisp, and no need for added sugars/syrups, perfect as is.

I stopped by the stand at the ferry building because I’m a huge tea drinker but already have so much so wasn’t planning to buy any. One sip of this tea and I knew I had to have it! It’s smooth, gently rich and laced with a honey sweetness that is aromatic with a bright finish. The layers of taste elevate this tea beyond other high end, loose black teas I’ve bought overseas. Worth adding to your daily ritual and would be a perfect gift for any occasion.

The Honey black tea is one of my favorite options, naturally sweet. I love the flavor!

It is absolutely delightful! It is so smooth! I have even stopped drinking coffee throughout the day and drink this instead!

Love the subtle sweetness, the smoothness of the tea and the steady energy it provides. I love using this to make milk tea also. The slight sweetness is perfect for me so I don't need any additional sweeteners. So glad I took a chance to try this. Can't wait to try more teas from Chafolio.

LOVE this tea! Found it at Half Moon Bay farmer's market, and tried it as a cold-brewed tea. I liked it enough to buy it, (and cursed myself for buying more tea!). But when I brought it home and brewed it hot, it was excellent! Love the aroma, and aliveness of it. Has a complex "honey" (or something) flavor, which I love. I'm also a fan of black Wuyi-san teas, and this is a great example.

I absolutely love this tea, the taste, the fact I can resteep it and the taste still is AWESOME! It just takes do long to get to Hawaii from the West Coast?! But I'll definitely keep ordering because it's my favorite tea!
