This famous Red Tea, named Red Plum after the colour of its liquor, is made from the tender buds and young leaves
of the tea trees. The leaves are shaped into tight, elegant curls. The leaves are dark, long and slender fishhook style

The beautiful leaf of this tea is surprisingly jet in color with highlights of dark chocolate. The leaves are long and wiry

and something nearly as sealike as hijiki in odor.

Story about Jiuqu Wulong (Black Dragon)
Jiuqu Hongmei tea ranks with the famous Keemun Black in quality. Its leaves twist into fine, tight, hook-like rolls, and produce a beverage as bright as their Red Plum name.
The name Jiuqu means Nine-Bend Stream, a main area of this tea's production near Mt. Dawu in Zhejiang province. The mountain faces the wide Qiantang River, famous for its tidal bore, so plenty of ocean moisture is drawn up to the tea gardens. Hongmei from the Nine-Bend area is ranked as first grade, with that from other parts of Zhejiang second and third.
playing at the brook he found a beautiful black pearl. He put it in his mouth to keep it safe and ran home to show his
parents, but on the way he tripped over a stone and swallowed the pearl.
Soon he was rolling on the ground with severe stomach pain. Suddenly a violent thunderstorm came up. The boy
changed into a black dragon and flew up into the sky, where he remained a long time riding the clouds and rain,
reluctant to leave his parents. From time to time he would turn and look back at them. He made altogether nine
turns. When he was gone, there remained a stream with nine bends.
That is why this tea is sometimes called Jiuqu Wnlong (Black Dragon). It is a fully-fermented gong fu black tea, but because of this name it is sometimes confused with the semi-fermented oolong (wulong).
