United StatesThis is, quite literally, one of the best Yunnan teas that I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. It is sweet with notes of chocolate and caramel, as well as an apricot fruitiness. There are pronounced, wonderful floral notes - Almost roselike. I also detected a subtle hint of almond. I would definitely describe this Yunnan tea as Darjeeling-esque in both aroma and taste - The love child of a Yunnan and Darjeeling if you will. A single steep with a water temperature of 200-203F for four minutes worked best for me. This tea will be a permanent item of my tea pantry for sure! Happy Earth Tea has the fastest shipping I have encountered. I can’t wait to try the generous sample of Colombian tea they included with my purchase. Thank you Happy Earth!
United StatesI usually go for oolongs, but I tried this tea because I was looking for something I wouldn't feel guilty about brewing western-style when I am pressed for time in the mornings, and it blew me away! Somehow, this tea has some of those same salty, creamy, roasted notes of my favorite oolongs combined with the warm caramels of black teas that I like. Highly recommended!
United StatesNice tea. Light.
