Yunan Black

History: By History, teas from the Yunnan area of China - the birthplace of tea- claim the longest lineage and richest pedigree. Originally used for medicinal purposes, tea gained wider acceptance for general consumption about 1700 years ago. Yunnan Black tea goes through an extensive and finely controlled process of preparation. Drying condenses flavors. Rolling releases and transforms essential oils. Exposure to the air causes mild fermentation and intensifies taste. The result? Color and flavors that are both rich and full.

Pairing: Fingerbreads, fruits, snacks, from breakfast to afternoon tea.

A black tea with burgundy color and full flavor; faintly sweet with accents of citrus and smoke.
