Elegant, downy gold tips are showcased in this superb black tea offering from Yunnan province. A sweet cocoa aroma pairs well with toasty/biscuity notes in the thick, rich cup. A silky smooth mouth feel envelops hints of cocoa that linger long into the finish.
Im a huge Keemun fan. However I'm prone to overstimulation. I've been branching out and trying other teas. While this is stimulating I find I can drink less and be satisfied. I'm giving it a 4 because it does have a certain astringent to it's flavor profile and I normally associate that with oversteeping. Not the case here. Still an excellent tea!

A medium golden cup, absolutely silky smooth with light floral notes. One of the brightest and crispest teas I’ve ever sampled. A lighter companion to the Yunnan Black Needle Imperial.

A marvelous tea, neither heavy not pallid, with a floral complexity atop that Yunnan cocoa.

Yunnan teas are my favorite and the more gold tips the better. This one is pure gold, rich and thick to start, builds to lemon and finishes dry. Currently my top Upton tea.
outstanding

The best black tea I've found from China so far. I tend to brew this at 200 instead of boiling. 3 steeps minimum.
