A highly prized black tea from Yunnan Province, China.
A straight and pointy leaf, golden in colour, with soft golden downy fur covering the newest leaf shoots and black tips. The glistening golden leaves create a copper liquor, medium mouthfeel with no astringency.
These highly aromatic leaves give flavours of honey, malt and wood with a soft sweetness. Delicious with milk chocolate, shortbread and spices such as nutmeg, pepper or cinnamon.
