Description

This classic tea is composed of a leaf and a bud, approximately 1-1/2 inches long. The slender leaves (not typical for a Yunnan) are twisted and are more golden than black. This tea brews a deep, golden honey color in the cup and is similar to the color of the tips. Light tannins. Smooth. Delightful aroma. May be infused a second time. Grown in southern China’s Yunnan Province, regarded as the birthplace of tea.
