This selection is handcrafted from a bold-leaf Yunnan varietal. The dry leaves are tightly rolled into a spiral snail shape, dark in color, with golden tip accents. The smooth cup is rich and full-bodied with notes of bittersweet cocoa and carob, as well as the classic Yunnan spice hints.
I tried this tea on a whim and it is now one of my absolute favorites! It has that wonderful smoky-keemuny-finish that eludes description. I used to work at a tea shop and I know that the flavor of this usually goes for 2-3 times the price. I was delightfully surprised and highly recommend for Keemun and Yunnan fans.

Very nice Yunnan, complex taste, this year somewhat better than prior years, good for second brewing
