I am by no means a tea expert, although I have been drinking tea for over 50 years so have had many types and varieties. This is my favorite from Yunnan Sourcing. For me it is the perfect morning cup, astringent in a very pleasant way, fruity and medium-light. I can have at least 2 strong brews per cup. The leaves are sturdy and not easily broken. My only worry is about the potential for pesticides on any Chinese tea. I ordered several types from an organic grower in India and sadly, none were as flavorful or well formed as the Yunnan variety. I am trying to learn more about the conditions in which the tea is grown, but have not been able to find out much. If anyone does know more, I would appreciate knowing.
