Organic Yunnan Gold
有机云南滇红茶
With its rich soils and subtropical climate, Yunnan province provides the perfect conditions for bold, full-flavoured black tea. Known in China as Dian Hong, this characterful black tea originates from the province's Lincang area, near the border with Myanmar, where the Lancang River flows from the Tibetan plateau. The golden, downy buds of this black tea produce a deep infusion, with a taste that combines sweet floral notes, intense chocolate, and a long milky finish.

- BeautifulEnjoyed this tea, was very good. Would definitely be buying again
- Another must have for the tea cupboardI purchased this for the first time and am so pleased that I did. Has a lovely creamy (but not sweet) flavour and is perfect for that last cup of tea of the day. Guess I would call it a 'quiet' tea but full of flavour - just lovely.
Delivery from Jing is superb, as usual :-)
