Gold & Red
Hong cha
These teas are in a world all their own. They are commonly grouped in the category of "black tea", but they are nothing like a generic black tea. In China and Taiwan they refer to this type of tea as Hong Cha, red tea. These teas have a spectrum as wide as oolong, and can be either sweet and floral like the blacks from Taiwan, or malty and chocolate-y like the blacks from China.
