HU-KWA Tea |
|
 |
|
We have had the pleasure of
supplying discriminating tea drinkers with this delicately
smoked Lapsang Souchong tea since 1904. This long leaf tea
from the island of Formosa has long been a tea connoisseur’s
favorite. Hu-Kwa gains its distinctive flavor and smoky tang
from the pine fires over which it is dried. Distinctive with
its smoky flavor and aroma, it produces a deep red liquor
and mellow cup when brewed. Hu-Kwa tea is recognized around
the world as the benchmark for Formosan Lapsang Souchong tea
and has been available exclusively from the Mark T. Wendell
Tea Company for almost a century.

Brewing of Hu-Kwa Tea: In order to
enjoy the unique flavor of Hu-Kwa we recommend allowing the
tea to draw for five and one-half minutes. Stir, and
let the tea settle for about one-half minute. Then
decant. Hu-Kwa Tea is best appreciated when drunk clear.
Milk or too much sugar compromises its delicate flavor. A
little cream goes well but sugar should be used sparingly.

“Hu-Kwa is, like all teas, an individual taste. For folks who like smoky teas, and I do, Hu-Kwa is a classic that I have enjoyed for several decades. It is mellower than most lapsang souchong. ”
- Frederick Hecht (04-07-09) “A most excellent cup of very flavorful tea.”
- Thomas Ryan Nelson (01-28-09) “I received a free sample from a previous order and at first almost threw it away but didn’t and after a second and third cup I grew to really like it. Today I ordered a pound!”
- Lewis Boucher (11-22-08)
