Style: BlackOrigin: Yunnan Province, ChinaDescription: Yunnan province has the oldest tea cultivation history in the world, with mountainous elevation and mild temperatures that offer ideal growing conditions for tea plants. This terroir, with its unique soil profile, adds to the popular richness and mildly toasty palate of Yunnan’s local dian hong (red teas). The appearance of the beautiful, twisted golden leaves of this Yunnan tea shows the craftsmanship involved in its creation and oxidation, and the steep does not disappoint. Made from a cultivar unique to Yunnan Province, from a mountainous region near the capital city Kunming, the facility that makes this tea focuses only on high-quality black and pu-erh tea making. Tasting Notes: The smell of fresh cinnamon is grounded in deeper fruity notes on the nose. The taste of molasses - its deep, malted sweetness - develops into a soft bitterness and fruity acidity reminiscent of dark chocolate, with a toasted warmth. The mouth of this tea is clear and direct, with a thirst-quenching quality. There is a very gentle bite at the back of the tongue which fades into a pleasant linger. Brewing Instructions: 3g per cup. 100ºC water. Steep 2-2.5 minutes. Re-steep.
