Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
The best teas from Yunnan (known as the birthplace of tea) are wiry and tightly twisted with distinct golden tips. This exquisite variety brews up rich amber-red in color, has a lightly sweet, floral flavor and aroma, and brings delicate notes of smoke, spice and leather.
