Brewing Suggestions

The recent, phenomenal popularity of Puerh tea has considerably slowed the production of black tea in Yunnan province, as farmers and factories are all rushing to produce Puerhs and black tea production has virtually been forgotten. However, as the Puerh stampede has abated somewhat due to over-production and poor quality, black tea is beginning to make a comeback. We are very pleased to offer this true Yunnan tea for your consideration. It consists of only fuzzy gold-colored tips that have been hand-fashioned into uniformly sized rings. The liquor is a deep ruby red and has a chocolate-like note that is hard to find in present-day Yunnans.

PREPARATION:
This versatile black tea can be brewed in the standard English style: Use 3 grams of tea per 8-10 oz. of near-boiling water and steep for a full 5 minutes. Milk and sugar can be added; a shorter steeping time is recommended if drinking plain. Gaiwan and Gong Fu style brewing are also suitable. Adjust the quantity of leaves, steeping time, and water temperature according to your personal preferences.
