Peter's Pick

One of our most popular black Yunnan teas. The taste of this high mountain tea is very rich, earthy and sweet with a delightful fragrance of fruit. Teas grown in Yunnan prior to the Han dynasty (206 BCE) were typically produced in a compressed form similar to modern Pu-erh teas. Yunnan’s are typically earthy teas with a stronger darker cup and pleasant smooth taste in the better quality ones Aromatic bold black tea leaves with ample golden buds cause this tea to yield a deep, rich and full bodied tea liquor with a prominently strong fruity and sappy/spicy character. This tea has a wonderful depth of taste and is highly recommended by tea lovers who appreciate fine quality teas at a reasonable cost.

When steeping this tea, I do not recommend making it too strong, especially on your first cup. Too strong a cup will most likely turn you off this tea (and most other black teas for that matter). Use 2 -3 grams per 8 ounce cup, bring water to the boil, 212F. and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Please stay with your cup and make certain it is steeped properly. Way too many cups of tea are ruined by over-steeping and not paying careful attention to the steeping parameters.

Come on into our store and talk to us about why this may be the Yunnan tea for you. We will give you a sample to see if Yunnan Organic Black Tea should be in your tea cupboard.

We are customer friendly and we love to talk and drink TEA!

Brew Ha-Ha

Black tea is a variety of tea from the Camellia sinensis plant that is a species of an evergreen shrub or small tree from the family Theaaceae whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce 'TEA'

Black Tea is fully oxidized in comparison to others like Green, Oolong or White which are much less oxidized. Black Tea is the most popular of all the teas and the most widely consumed in the world.

Nutritional

Black tea contains:

alkaloids, including caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins, chlorophyll, fluoride, aluminum, minerals and trace elements, volatile organic compounds, which contribute to its odor and taste

The antioxidant effect of black tea is due to its polyphenol content. Polyphenols are chemical compounds that protect plants from ultraviolet radiation and harmful, disease-causing pathogens. Flavonoids are one type of polyphenol. They occur in grapes, red wine, and other foods.
