Overview
Best pick • solid black choice from Unknown origin
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Our 2025 Hammond is a sun dried black tea blend from Yunnan. An outlier for Yunnan black teas, with a brighter aromatic character and sharper profile than you'd expect. A great change of pace black tea to pair with breakfast as a day starter. Pressed in 2025. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
