Bi Luo Chun Hong Cha - yep, it's black...........
I bought this wonderful, winey, rich, semi-sweet chocolaty brew from
TeaSpring and it is provoking some controversy among my tea friends. This is not Bi Luo Chun. It looks like Bi Luo Chun in that it it a tea of curly, slender leaves. But, it is a (red) black tea. Does anyone have further information about this tea? Has anyone else tried it and what are your opinions? Thanks in advance. Shen

Shen To me it's got a sort of biscutty smell that's different from any other hong cha I've tried, different from Assam...this is the dry leaf smell though and I would call the rest dried fruit but not as sweet. The taste of the liquid does remind me of a Yunnan though. Melinda

I have some Yingde Hong from Guangdong that looks like that as well as some stuff from Jiangsu.

I have some Yingde Hong from Guangdong that looks like that as well as some stuff from Jiangsu. This is called (by TeaSpring) just that - Bi Luo Chun Hong Cha. They say it's a Yunnan tea. These leaves are much more slender that my other Yunnan Gold/Black and very tightley snail curled. I was just curious as to what it truly is and if anyone had had this tea. What is the flavour of your Yingde Hong? Shen

Um, I came across a red tea looking very much like BLC a few years ago
whilst working in Poland - can't remember the name of the tea or the teastore chain in Warsaw but you might find it by looking in the archives of this group from Mayish 2003 - all I remember is that it looked pretty interesting (not like Yingde Hong - actually spiralled like BLC) but tasted poor alas.
