Yunnan Premium Classics 58 Black Tea

Yunnan is a region in China known for growing large-leaf tea of producing top quality black tea. High mountains covered by mist, with clean water supply from nearby rivulets, rich humus soil …these ideal conditions contribute a lot to the unique flavor of Yunnan black tea, earning it a worldwide reputation.

If you like traditional black teas, you will love this. Much more sophiticated than the mass marketed black teas and less bitter. Our large-leaf Yunnan premium black tea has perfect leaf appearance and a great taste. You won’t be disappointed!

Yunnan premium black tea is made by famous Fengqing Tea Factory according to its Classics 58 recipe – the highest class, it is a very pure and tasty tea that is full-bodied and rich with a hint of natural sweet malty flavor, a brew that no other black teas come close.

A very similar tea to my favorites: The Simple Leaf’s Dawn and Golden Moon’s Sinharaja. The leaves look different, though. Where Dawn and Sinharaja have mono-colored leaves, these are variegated with shades of olive green, chocolate brown, yellow, and gold. The fragrance is redolent of cocoa, raisins, and sweet tea. The color of the liquor is reddish brown (and it actually darkened as it sat once I removed the leaves).

It has the same strong tea and cocoa taste I love but with a tad more astringency. It is a very good tea.
