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 delicate notes of smoke, spice and leather.
That first steep was a deep amber-red, exactly as described, and the floral sweetness came through without any bitterness. The leaves are beautifully wiry with golden tips, and they held up for three infusions before fading. A lovely, calming pot for an afternoon break.
Brewed a pot this morning and the liquor is a gorgeous amber-red, almost glowing in the cup. The floral sweetness comes through right at the front, and it's got that clean finish that makes you want another sip before the mug's empty.
The golden tips really stand out in the dry leaves, and once steeped, that amber-red liquor is as pretty as promised. The floral sweetness comes through light and clean without any astringency, even when I left the bag in a bit too long. This one’s earned a permanent spot in my afternoon rotation.
