Golden Spring is an early spring harvest black tea — a bud-heavy selection where downy golden curled buds are interspersed throughout the dark leaf, creating a visual color-play between gold and black that signals the exceptional proportion of tender young bud material harvested at the peak of the spring growing window. Spring harvests in Chinese black tea production are the most prized of the year: the first flush of new growth after winter dormancy concentrates the natural sugars and aromatic compounds that produce the depth this tea delivers.
Richly sweet jam and carob aroma — one of the most distinctive dry-leaf scents in the black tea catalog. In the cup: smooth, decadent and very savory texture, with notes of currants and roasted apples that lift the depth into something complex and bright simultaneously. Softly dry astringency, very much in balance with the satisfyingly smooth texture: a pure sensory delight.
