Jinggu Da Jin Ya Golden Tips Yunnan Black Tea

Jinggu is a town in Jinggu Dai and Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan, China. It is bordered to the southwest by Lancang, to the west by Shuangjiang, to the northwest by Linxiang, and to the south by Simao. It is known as the Home of Tea. This tea is a fantastic representative of Jinggu area material.

Meticulously crafted in Jinggu, after the tea leaves have been picked, they are dried and carefully roasted. This treatment gives the leaves their beautiful, golden color. It is composed of gorgeous, golden tips that yield more flavor and aroma than standard leaves.

The liquor is golden orange in color. A sweet cocoa aroma pairs well with toasty/biscuity notes in the thick, rich cup. A bouquet of dried woods and smoke gives way to lingering flavors of honey and molasses. So smooth and rounded it can be enjoyed neat or with a drop of milk, and will not taste bitter even if over-steeped. Coupled with a rich aftertaste of dried fruits, it’s a perfect tea to drink with breakfast or as an afternoon indulgence.

Brewing Guide: Place 3g of tea in a pot or cup infuser. Pour on fresh, boiled water and brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. The same leaves can be re-used for up to 3 infusions.
