New Tea

Tasting Notes: chocolate, caramel, sweet potato

Description: From Yunnan province, the birthplace of tea, this Golden Yunnan Black offers a rich, satisfying malty cup with depth. The long, twisted leaves include a generous amount of golden tips, contributing to its smooth texture and layered character.

The cup is warm and rounded, with notes of chocolate, roasted sweet potato, and soft caramel woven into a full-bodied base. A gentle mineral finish lingers, giving the tea a clean, balanced edge.

This is a more approachable and affordable Yunnan, designed for everyday drinking while still delivering the character the region is known for. For those looking for a higher concentration of golden buds and a more refined, complex cup, our Yunnan Gold offers a more premium expression of this style.

If you enjoy breakfast teas such as our Gold Coast or Scottish Breakfast, this is a natural fit. If you enjoy our bestselling Golden Monkey, we suggest trying this one as well.

Ingredients: black tea from Yunnan province, China

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

The long twisted leaves brew up a deep reddish cup that smells like sweet potato before you even sip it. Malty and rich without any bitterness, this is my new evening tea when I want something satisfying.

That caramel note really comes through on the finish, and the brew holds its richness even after it cools. The long twisted leaves unfurl beautifully in the pot, giving a deep, satisfying cup that's perfect for a slow afternoon.

The malty depth is what got me—it's bold and rich without any bitterness, even after a few steeps. I brewed a pot this afternoon and the chocolatey aroma filled the whole kitchen. Definitely my new go-to for cold days.
