The recent, phenomenal popularity of Puerh tea has considerably slowed the production of black tea in Yunnan province, as farmers and factories are all rushing to produce Pu erh and black tea production has virtually been forgotten. However, as the Pu erh stampede has abated somewhat due to over-production and poor quality, black tea is beginning to make a comeback. We are very pleased to offer this true Yunnan tea for your consideration. It consists of only fuzzy gold-colored tips that have been hand-fashioned into uniformly sized rings. The liquor is a deep ruby red and has a chocolate-like note that is hard to find in present-day Yunnan.
