Type: Black Tea Net Weight: 357g Packaging: Cotton Paper Origin: China Description: Made of ancient tree leaves from Yunnan. Description: Yunnan is a region in China known for producing excellent black tea. Yunnan black is famous for its fat golden buds and our Yunnan Black Tea has a high concentration of these golden buds. Tea brewed from our Yunnan Black Tea has a reddish brown color. The aroma is strong sugary and floral with a slight roasted undertone. The taste is smooth and sweet and the aftertaste is refreshing and clean.   During third century BC, the central area of Yunnan, around present day Kunming (major city), was known as Dian’. The name Dian Hong means "Yunnan Black tea". Often Yunnan black teas are referred to as Dian Hong teas. Yunnan black teas vary in their flavor and appearance. Some grades have more golden buds and a very sweet and gentle aroma without astringency. Others make a darker, brown brew that is bright, uplifting and slightly sharp. You may add milk to this tea (a longer steeping time is needed to acquire enough astringency to balance the milk).   This item looks similar with an ordinary ripe pu-erh cake, however, it is not pu-erh tea at all, this is a rare cake pressed with Dian Hong tea (Yunnan black tea). It smells strongly of chocolate and malt. Once infused to a rich, honey-gold, the nose takes on caramel and vanilla notes. It is slightly sweet, spicy tea with its finish of burnt caramel. Very smooth, minimal astringency.   The leaves are pressed into cakes so that they could be preserved in a good condition just like pu-erh.
