Description:
Yunnan is a region in China known for producing excellent black tea. Yunnan black is famous for its fat golden buds and our Yunnan Black Tea has a high concentration of these golden buds. Tea brewed from our Yunnan Black Tea has a reddish brown color. The aroma is strong sugary and floral with a slight roasted undertone. The taste is smooth and sweet and the aftertaste is refreshing and clean.
During third century BC, the central area of Yunnan, around present day Kunming (major city), was known as 'Dian'. The name Dian Hong means "Yunnan Black tea". Often Yunnan black teas are referred to as Dian Hong teas. Yunnan black teas vary in their flavor and appearance.
The dry leaves consist solely of buds and have a bright gold color to them with a lovely malty and sweet aroma. When brewed, you can see the dry leaves turn into the most attractive full buds. The bright amber liquor produces a light to medium strength liquor with an attractive fragrance. The smooth taste has a complex profile that is sweet and malty. The complex flavors have notes of cocoa, sour fruits and wheat biscuits with a clean and refreshing aftertaste.
Brewing Guide: Use a heaping teaspoon for 8oz of water. Steep at 195-205° F for 2-3 minutes. For a stronger flavor, use slightly more tea leaves. For each subsequent brew, steep for 30 seconds each time.
