Strong and full-bodied, this black tea from rich-soiled Yunnan province is particularly good first thing in the morning. Its underlying sweetness also goes well with a late afternoon slice of Madeira cake or a sticky piece of baklava.

 

When steeped, the golden down covered buds of Yunnan Gold develop into a brew with an auburn sheen. The leaves from spring's harvest release a rounded caramel richness and a lingering finale of spice - ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
