Description

ABOUT THIS TEA
The best teas from Yunnan (known as the birthplace of tea) are wiry and tightly twisted with distinct golden tips. This exquisite variety brews up rich amber-red in color, has a lightly sweet, floral flavor and aroma, and brings welcome notes of smoke, spice and leather.

INGREDIENTS
Full leaf China black tea from Yunnan Province.

PREPARATION
For best flavor, bring freshly drawn filtered water to a boil. Steep five minutes. It will seem like the blink of an eye.
