Yunnan Gold

This black tea is picked only from the leaf buds of the new spring growth. After harvesting, the buds are painstakingly sorted, resulting in an exceptionally high-grade tea. When oxidized, these beautiful buds turn gold rather than black and, when brewed, release a rich, smooth flavor with lingering notes of honey and tobacco. The flavor builds through the first few infusions.

Description

Start with your favorite spring or filtered water. Heat the water to a boil, or about 210F.
Use about 3 grams of tea per 6 oz serving. Please note, for denser teas this is about 1 teaspoon; for larger-leaf teas this could be up to 2 tablespoons.
Steep for 2-3 minutes. Remove the leaves when ready -- rely on taste, not color. Use a large enough strainer basket to allow the leaves to open and release their flavor. Get to know the tea by playing with the amount of leaf, the water temperature, and steeping time. Re-steep to make another cup!
