Description

Yunnan, known as the birthplace of tea, is a province in southwestern China that borders Vietnam, Burma, and Laos. Yunnan translates literally to “south of the clouds”. Its diverse landscape offers everything from tropical rainforests to mountainous terrain and is home to a wide variety of plant species. The Yunnan region focuses heavily on agricultural production.

Yunnan teas are particularly delightful as breakfast or early afternoon teas.

Yunnan leaves are most distinctive in appearance, with their fat buds and thick leaves. The black, golden, tippy leaves of this Imperial Yunnan Black tea brew to a lovely amber cup, with a rich, full-body and a slightly spicy aftertaste.
