Premium Yunnan Golden Tips Black Tea (云南金丝红茶)
This black tea is the best we could get, the very best Yunnan produced with extremely selective tea tips/buds from Fengqing, a place traditionally yields the best black tea in the world.
Because of its tenderness, we recommend you brew it with care, by not using boiling water but at a lower temperature, say 170-180F. The brewed broth is orange liquor with malty and sweet smell.

Steepster has gone retarded on me and won’t let me add a picture, almost gave up on adding the tea as I wasn’t sure if it was worth it. This was a very whelming tea, I mean it’s a golden tip dian hong which always warms my heart but it really wasn’t anything special which is sad. :( Oh well its drinkable and I’ve had worse but I won’t be buying this one again.

Like the other reviews I doubt that this tea deserves its premium name. It is better than most of the black teas out there but it falls way short of the really premium ones that I have encountered. Still worth drinking what I have but this is not a tea that I would use to show off a really good black tea to somebody.
