From Harney & Sons

Golden tips from Yunnan in China. This tea is made of big buds that have slightly oxidized into a lovely gold. Since buds are the future for the tea plant, they are loaded with glucose for future energy needs making a tea with sweet, fruit flavors.

Aroma and flavor of apricots.

Big golden leaves that’s so fun to watch steep.

Flavor wise, it has a lot in common with the Golden Snail I got from Whispering Pines. Its mellow and smooth though can get a little astringent as it cools. Not bad, but it is noticeable.

Will consider buying this one again.

I’ve really been enjoying this one lately—it has a surprising natural sweetness while not being one-note.

Happy Lunar New Year!

This is one of my recent Harney samples. There is a nice fruit aroma of apricots. The flavour is sweet and apricot too. It is mild, and delicious. Having a second cup while playing Animal Crossing- New Leaf this afternoon.

Flavors: Apricot, Sweet
