Yunnan Province, the birthplace of tea, is famous for its golden-tipped Black Teas derived from ancient Assamica variety tea plants. These prizes are among the most intriguing teas you will ever taste—malty, creamy and redolent of truffles or mushrooms. Largely without bite, they reflect the beauty of the complex landscape in which they are cultivated.
Preparation: 3 g tea leaves (1 heaping teaspoon) per 8oz cup of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew 2 min.
