Yunnan Black Gold Black Tea

This handmade Yunnan tea is a masterpiece of leaf selection, bursting with golden buds and expertly twisted leaves that hint at the craftsmanship within. A tea master in Yunnan has carefully balanced high-quality buds with darker leaves to craft something genuinely complex—the kind of tea that rewards a proper brew.

In the cup, it reveals layer upon layer: warming spice and pepper give way to subtle earthiness, then a rich caramel note emerges with a honeyed sweetness on the finish. It's a tea that grows more rewarding the longer you steep it—six to seven minutes brings out its full character, and it never turns bitter, no matter how generously you brew. For the best experience, try it strong with a splash of full cream milk, or explore it Gong Fu style with multiple short infusions.

Grown on the high, misty plateaus of the Lancang River in Yunnan's distinctive red soil, this tea carries the terror of one of China's most celebrated tea regions. It's the kind of tea we find ourselves returning to again and again.
