From Yunnan Sourcing

This lovely tea is a classic Yunnan black tea grown in Ning’er county of Simao. This has been picked as 1 leaf to 1 bud sets and processed carefully by rolling the tea into pellets. Like most Yunnan black teas, the tea benefits from short-term aging and develops a malty sweet taste and lovely fragrance with a hint of chocolate and flowers.

Spring & Autumn Harvest can differ a bit. Spring is a little less tippy gold, but taste is more robust. Autumn is more tippy gold and a bit more easy-going and sweet in taste. With age (Spring 2019) it develops a bit more honey mellowness. If in doubt about which one you’d like, try a small amount of each!

I’ve had this tea for a while now but only recently figured out how to properly steep it. Thank God for old Steepster tasting notes! It’s too aggressive when gong fu’ed but tastes wonderful western steeped using cooler water. I steeped 1.3g in a 160ml clay teapot.

Infusion 1 – 190 F/2:30
Chocolatey, smooth malt without the earthiness you get from boiling water. Medium bodied, well balanced with a nice sweetness

Infusion 2 – 205 F/4m
Darker color, thicker. Delicious throat coating burnt caramel/brown sugar flavor.

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Burnt Sugar, Caramel, Chocolate, Malt
