Yunnan Black (Yunnan Hong Cha)
|
|
Sweet and thirst-quenching, our Yunnan Black is husky in aroma and fruity-spicy in taste. Traditional in style, this lot is made with large, thick dayeh leaves with an ample amount of distinctive golden buds to yield an excellent morning or afternoon beverage. Definitely on the tippy side, this encourages plenty of sweetness from a cup that will show a brilliant red color. Nuanced and full bodied, exceptionally creamy and smooth, this is a tea to enjoy every day. This tea can take milk and sugar. Note, it also makes a very refreshing iced tea.
Tea Notes
Yunnan black teas are known as the "Mocha of teas' - full-bodied, delicate spiciness.
Literally dozens of varietals grow in Yunnan and make black teas. There is great variation in leaf size between lots.
