Golden Yunnan Black
Category: China Black Tea
New Tea
Tasting Notes: chocolate, caramel, sweet potato
Description: From Yunnan province, the birthplace of tea, this Golden Yunnan Black offers a rich, satisfying malty cup with depth. The long, twisted leaves include a generous amount of golden tips, contributing to its smooth texture and layered character.
The cup is warm and rounded, with notes of chocolate, roasted sweet potato, and soft caramel woven into a full-bodied base. A gentle mineral finish lingers, giving the tea a clean, balanced edge.
This is a more approachable and affordable Yunnan, designed for everyday drinking while still delivering the character the region is known for. For those looking for a higher concentration of golden buds and a more refined, complex cup, our Yunnan Gold offers a more premium expression of this style.
If you enjoy breakfast teas such as our Gold Coast or Scottish Breakfast, this is a natural fit. If you enjoy our bestselling Golden Monkey, we suggest trying this one as well.
