Golden Yunnan

Golden Yunnan is a black tea from the mountainous regions of Yunnan Province in China, where tea cultivation has a long history and is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the area. This exclusive tea is grown at an altitude of around 1,700 metres in the Fengqing district, a place known for its mild climate and mineral-rich soil, which provides the tea bushes with the ideal conditions for developing a complex and aromatic flavour profile. Golden Yunnan is harvested by hand in early spring, when the quality of the tea leaves is at its highest. Each pick consists of one bud and two leaves, a method that contributes to the tea's full-bodied and elegant flavour.
During the production process, the leaves are gently processed to preserve their natural character and to bring out the golden colour of the buds, which is characteristic of this type of Yunnan tea. The golden buds are rich in natural oils and flavourings, which give Golden Yunnan Black its unique combination of richness and subtle sweetness. The flavour is round and has a mild maltiness complemented by notes of noble wood and maple syrup, giving a balanced and sophisticated character.

G The Yunnan olive is well suited to multiple infusions. The second infusion is best kept short, as the leaves have already started to open and release their flavours. Subsequent infusions, on the other hand, should be left to rest a little longer to allow the flavours to deepen and the nuances to emerge. For many teas, two or three infusions with the above parameters are enough, but some keep on giving, cup after cup.
