Golden Strand
Spring 2023
Simao, Yunnan
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…not your average black tea. These tightly curled thin buds give notes of grape, black pepper, and olive.
$4.00 – $98.00

Not what I would call an everyday tea. More like an after a really good dinner tea. One to relax with and contemplate the day and the flavor of the tea. I don’t taste the olive but more a hint of strawberry beneath the grape.
