Our traditionally grown lot, this Golden Needle style is becoming increasingly rare in China. Leaves are crafted to elegant, thin needle shapes mixed with golden buds make this tea a classic. Skilled processing and shaping of the leaf has created a delicate aroma. When steeped, it opens to a full-bodied sweet and malty flavor with a cup that is a bright red color.
Tea Notes
The long black leaves provide a malty body taste and depth to the brew. Golden buds lend sweetness.
After oxidation, buds turn golden color as they lack chlorophyll.
