Style: Black Origin: Yunnan Province, China Description: Yunnan Province has the oldest tea cultivation history in the world. Mountainous elevations and mild temperatures offer ideal growing conditions for the native Camellia sinensis var. sinensis plants. This terroir, with its unique soil profile, adds to the popular, rich, and mildly toasty flavour of Yunnan’s local dian hong (red teas). This Yunnan Black is grown at higher elevations, offers a wonderfully rich and satisfying everyday steep. Excellent as a breakfast, or afternoon, or truly any time of day tea. Will take a little bit of milk, although we enjoy this one without. It is mature and full-bodied - an excellent and classic Yunnan tea. We are pleased to provide a tea which is such a high quality with an excellent cost per cup. Tasting Notes: The steep is smooth, sophisticated and thirst-quenching. Well-rounded and toasty from start to finish, with little to no astringency even as the tea sits in the cup. The aroma is rich with hints of caramel. Notes of sweet and lush grasses roll through the steep alongside a delicate dark chocolate bitterness and subtle spice. The golden tipped tea buds add a rich sweetness, and there is a slight cane sugar finish, typical of teas from Yunnan. The finish is clean and crisp but still lingers nicely. The second steep maintains depth and complexity. Brewing Instructions: 2-3g per cup. 100ºC water. Steep 3-5 minutes. Re-steep 4-6 minutes. Optional addition of a quick rinse with 100ºC water and letting the leaves steam covered before the initial steeping will bring out even greater complexity of the leaves. Organic.
