China Yunnan Royal Golden from The Tea Stop
90

A fine example of Golden Yunnan. Malty notes of chocolate and leather (in a good way! the word “tannin” actually comes from the leather tanning process).

While this batch is not 100% golden buds like some rare Yunnan Golds I have seen, it contains a high enough proportion of those precious soft downy golden tips to produce the prized succulent notes of premium gold tippy Yunnan.

Bio

Started drinking tea regularly in 2003 when I read that tea helped broken bones heal faster, because I had one.

Discovered high quality loose-leaf a year later and was soon hooked on Indian, Chinese, and Japanese tea.

Also amassed a small but happy collection of Japanese Teaware.
