Description
Black tea from the Yunnan region of China. Yunnan tea is easily identified by its luscious soft leaves, and a unique peppery taste. Our 'Yunnan Gold' as the name implies is an exceptional quality tea with beautiful gold-colored leaves and an abundance of rich peppery flavor. Allowed to take only one tea to a desert island, 'Yunnan Gold' would be our clear choice.
Story
Yunnan is the name of the Southern Chinese province bordering Vietnam. It had been a tea-producing region for close to two thousand years. Here grows China's oldest wild tea tree - about seventeen hundred years old. Yunnan's most senior cultivated tree is a relative youngster - a mere eight hundred years old. Yunnan also has the distinction of producing more black tea than any other part of China, although it's a relative newcomer to this variety. Black tea was first produced here in 1939, and is distinguished by its unique peppery taste.
"This stuff is like the silver needle of black tea. Of the blacks, this one has the most delicate flavor that I have tasted. Only mildly bitter (don't overbrew), with a hint of sweetness and a peppery finish, topped with a pleasant sweet aroma. "
"My favorite black tea. The first time I tried it, I don't think i steeped it long enough and I wasn't to impressed, but I later got it right and loved the tea. I can't stop drinking it! It's one of the best teas I think I have ever had. I will buy more of this tea!"
"Really good tea. Dark and peppery. I love this at the end of a long day."
"My absolute favorite tea. However if you oversteep it can be a little too strong and bitter. "
"Very nice! A light black tea, slightly smokey, golden color, and low tannins."
"This immediately became one of my favorites upon tasting. Adagio's own description is very accurate. I'd say it's more mellow than the Yunnan Jig."
