From San Francisco Herb Co.

Sourced from the Yunnan province of China, one of the birthplaces of tea. This tea offers an attractive gold-tipped leaf that brews a smooth, amber cup with layers of flavor that reveal woody, peppery spice notes and floral overtones.

Michelle sent me some teas recently!  Mostly puerh from Rich’s puerh stash, which I specifically wanted to help Michelle out with. :D Thank you so much for the lovely package!  I just HAD to steep this one up first as I love trying any Yunnan in my path.  On first sip: “AH, now THAT is Yunnan tea”.  Every flavor note you expect to find from a good Yunnan is here.  It’s hard to describe other than it’s just the general flavor of Yunnan.  When I think of Yunnan, this is exactly the nuanced flavor I think of (which sounds weird, but sometimes Yunnan teas do taste completely different than what I think Yunnan should be.)  The second steep was a bit harsh, but I have a little bit of this one to get that correct tasting second steep.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug // 30 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep

Also, WHOA San Fran Herb’s prices on tea are CHEAP but bulky! https://www.sfherb.com/Yunnan-Tea—8oz_p_141.html

I usually brew this one up strong, 2 tsp for 16 oz and throw it in a go cup for travel. It turns a bit more chocolatety in my go cup :)
I drink this on so much I get pounds of it each order! SF herb are hit or miss for me, I love this one and Vanilla, but the orange spice tea is too much clove for my liking (I add some ginger to balance it out).

Y is for… Yunnan.

From Michelle. A really delightful chocolaty cup.

Second Steep
8 ounces water + 212 degrees + a really long steep

This second mug is almost as flavorful as the first, with a little nuttiness thrown in.

I’ve enjoyed this one!

I really need to explore this tea more, I always lean to Taiwanese blacks instead!

I can send you some, I buy it by the pound :)
