Master Han's Wild Picked Yunnan Black from Verdant Tea

100

Bonnie drank Master Han's Wild Picked Yunnan Black by Verdant Tea

Today I made some hickory smoked chicken with a dusting of Master Han’s Wild Picked Yunnan Black tea, butter and honey on top.

The dark bits are not bitter or burned. The taste is fantastic!

You grind it into a powder, the smoker keeps the leaves from burning because there’s a little moisture.
