This tea was grown in the area of Simao and was harvested in April 2018.
This “Pure Bud” Black Tea (单芽红茶) is a Yunkang #10 varietal growing at and altitude 1300 meters (4300 feet) on the southern slope Ma Wei Mountain (just west of Pu’Er City). The processing is typical of black tea with sun withering, rolling, oxidization (about 2.5 hours) and finally drying.
This pure bud black tea is sweet and malty with honey taste and aroma. It is neither astringent nor bitter, and can be brewed 6 to 8 times gong fu style.
Our Yunnan Sourcing Certified Organic teas are certified organic by EcoCert SA and are certified organic to international standards (EcoCert is IFOAM accredited).

Yunnan SourcingThis organic black tea is fairly typical, malty and sweet with a burnt honey or molasses taste. There are no flavour notes that jump out at me as special, but I find it pleasing that it has such a strong flavour. I find organic teas can sometimes be more bland. The caffeine content seems to be somewhat high, unless I’m confusing it with a energizing cha qi (unlikely). Seems like a typical Assamica type tea despite coming from Yunnan.
This is the first black tea that I’ve brewed gong fu where the aroma from the wash made me want to drink it! It almost reminds me of cooking or baking a pie. I think this will be a nice harvest to drink through winter as it evokes a nostalgia that instills cozy feelings of quiet snow days and a full belly. This is probably the only reason I’m giving it such a high rating, otherwise it is a fairly average tea.
Brewed gong fu at 90°c
Rinsed once, followed by brews of 10 seconds, 15, 20, 30, 45, and 1 minute
Amendment:
After drinking a few more pots of this tea, I like it more than I said in my initial review. The malt evolves into a lighter caramel flavour or perhaps slightly burnt toffee when you get up to the fourth or fifth infusion. Changing my rating from 76 to 80.
Flavors: Honey, Malt, Molasses
