Golden Strands

Simao, Yunnan – Spring 2017
Smooth, velvety, nutty

The most delicate combined with the robust; a skilled harvest of just the tips of the tea plant, exposed to the outside world for one day, then made into black tea.   Features the characteristic earthy tones of Yunnan black teas, yet yields an incredibly soft, sweet cup. These tightly curled thin buds give notes of grape, black pepper, and olive.
