Today, the communiTEA is drinking...

Yunnan Jig is a classic Dian Hong (滇紅) black tea from Yunnan province in southwestern China — the birthplace of tea itself. Easily identified by its abundance of soft golden tips: the downy, gold-furred young buds that signal the harvest quality and contribute the natural sweetness that defines Yunnan black tea at its most characteristic. Sweet, almost creamy aroma on the dry leaf. Rich and savory flavor in the cup, with a slight cocoa powder finish and a gentle black pepper warmth that emerges at the back of the palate. Earthy and spicy with soft, smooth mouthfeel from start to finish. Classic Yunnan — the kind of Dian Hong that sets the standard.
