Product line Expression
A rich Chinese black tea from Yunnan, recognizable by its golden tips and full, rounded flavor. Golden Yunnan offers a lush palette of raisins, blue grapes, cocoa, and brown sugar, carried by notes of honey, caramel, and malt.
A blend of young buds and more mature leaves brings depth and softness. Careful oxidation yields a tea that is powerful without harshness, with a long, warm finish.

The Gold of Yunnan
Yunnan is often regarded as the birthplace of tea. In this southwestern province of China, tea trees have grown for centuries at elevation, nourished by mist, sun, and fertile soils. Golden Yunnan emerges from this landscape of deep roots and slow development.
What defines this tea is the abundance of golden tips — young buds carefully selected and processed together with the leaf. They give the tea its warm hue and contribute to its rounded, gentle texture. Through full oxidation, flavours of malt, honey, and cocoa unfold, without sharpness or edge.
In the cup, Golden Yunnan feels generous and warming. Full in flavour, yet never heavy; expressive, yet softly grounded. A tea that comforts and carries — an expression of sun and earth, held within the leaf.
