High-grown Yunnan of excellent quality. Sold by some as the best available, this grade is actually the best of the commonly available grades. Brisk flavor without the harshness of lesser Yunnan teas.
Steeping Suggestions
Leaf Quantity: 2.25 g/6oz cup Steep Time: 3-5 min. Water Temperature: 212 degrees (boiling)
This Yunnan is nicely fragrant, has a full mouth feel, and a more robust flavor than the others, maybe slightly earthy. I like it hot w milk in winter and over ice in summer. To me, Yunnan tastes like good Chinese restaurant tea. Sampled ZY51 Premium China Yunnan TGFOP and ZY30 Yunnan FOP Select, but like this one best.
I ordered a 2019 sample

Then ordered another sample because it was better than mor expensive Yunnan sample I tried. A naturally spicy Yunnan black is what I like, first sample delivered. Don't like milk, sugar/sweetener. Good plain. Brewed according to instruction, well as over steeped, very low astringency. Matched the FOP select desciption better than FOP Select itself
Great flavor - great finish.

I really like what they have done with this blend. It has a nice bite, but there is a good vanilla finish as well.
