Yunnan Beauty comes from the serene Jingmai mountains of Yunnan, China, an amazing result of nature's delicate interplay. During the summer months, a unique aphid-like bug graces the tea plants, prompting them to produce special chemicals to fend off the intruders and heal the bitten leaves. This natural defense mechanism results in a signature sweet and fruity flavor profile, remarkably akin to the famed Oriental Beauty from Taiwan.

DRY LEAF: Long wiry, lightly rolled abundant silver tips. Sweet dark stone fruit notes.

WET LEAF: Leaves open to dark olive and brown. Sugary sweet and honey notes.

CUP: Amber liquor with delightful fruity flavors. A nice toasty aroma, which is comforting. No harsh or bitter notes. Each sip reveals a harmonious blend of fruity sweetness and bold complexity, making it a perfect choice for tea connoisseurs.
