Sun dried black tea , known as Shai Hong , is simply processed with light oxidation ,
rolling and dying on the sun ( directly or in the drying glass house ) .
The initial flavour spectrum is rather sour , due to not complete fixation
(  not like it's common for dark roasted black tea ) whcih in time is transforming
into the jam fruity sweet notes. Therefore shaihong tea is recommended
for further ageing and it is also sold in pressed form.
This type of processing is commonly used by tea farmers who do not possess
special equipment for making the fully fixed ( heat processed ) black tea.
In modern tea business this concept is also being overtaken by bigger producers who use the gentle heat to imitate the sun drying environment.

    Spring harvest of big & small wild tea trees growing near Myanmar borders in Dehong state. Processed by the small producer who is originally from Feng Qing so his sun dried Ye Sheng is up to very good standard. Typical sweet-sour fruity notes which will develop further with time because this one hasn't gone through any artificial heat processing ( roast ) .

    Spring harvest from big wild varietal three tea trees. No Huang Pian selected out as the amount harvested is already small enough. Typical sweet sour fruity taste but also with oolong notes reminding the Oriental Beauty tea. That's due to the additional "yao qing " shaking processing.
