Wine Tea

WINE TEA STORY:

Wine tea is typically made by mixing a small amount of wine with the tea leaves before brewing. The ratio of wine to tea can vary depending on personal preference, but generally, a small amount of wine is added to the tea leaves and left to infuse for a few minutes before brewing. The wine can add a new depth of flavor to the tea, making it more complex and satisfying. Different types of wine can be used to create unique blends, and the process of experimenting with different combinations is often part of the fun of making wine tea.

In a Chinese village known for its high-quality teas, a traveler introduced the locals to a new beverage called “wine tea” by mixing a small amount of wine with the tea leaves. Despite their initial hesitation, the villagers found the new drink to be delicious and began experimenting with different tea and wine blends, eventually becoming famous for their innovative creations. Today, the tradition of wine tea lives on in the village.

TASTE:

Generally, red wine has a sweet, dark flavor. Some consider wine tea good if it has the perfect balance of sour, bitter, and sweet elements.

OUR ROLE:

Teas taste best when they are fresh. Much like vegetable and fruit, teas do go stale over time. The traditional tea route is a long one, beginning in the garden and involving multiple middlemen. It takes between 6-8 months for teas, once produced, to reach the consumer. We did away with the long supply chain, reducing it from five stages to two. We want to become the single link between producer and a global consumer base. The happy consequence is a better price for a much better tea. Not to distributors. Not to resellers. But to tea drinkers. Buy Aromatic fresh Single-Estate Darjeeling Teas, Handpicked from the finest Tea Gardens. We bring you the Best Darjeeling Tea from the Award-Winning Tea Gardens.
