Description
Yunnan Summer Black – Aromatic Summer-Harvest Black TeaYunnan Summer Black is an enticing, aromatic summer-harvest tea inspired by Taiwanese artisan tea crafters. It's made from the Taiwanese Jinxuan tea cultivar grown in southern China's Yunnan Province during the warm, rainy season, which produces large leaves rich in natural sweetness and unique character. During processing, the leaves are regularly turned and gently shaken to encourage withering and oxidation, then finished with a mild roast to deepen their flavor — techniques borrowed from Taiwan's finest tea masters. The result is a remarkably smooth, fruity and aromatic black tea. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItTaiwanese tea enthusiasts will notice that Yunnan Summer Black is similar in character and flavor to our luxury Taiwanese Assam #8 — yet much more affordable! It's a wonderful everyday black tea with the fruitiness and depth of a much pricier tea, and it rewards you with multiple delicious infusions.
How to EnjoyEnjoy Yunnan Summer Black over multiple steeps to fully experience this fine tea — each infusion reveals new fruity, floral layers. It's delicious plain, and also makes a wonderful fruity iced tea on hot days. Pair it with fresh fruit, pastries or light lunches. Fruity, smooth and wonderfully aromatic, Yunnan Summer Black is summer sunshine in a cup. |

A little steeping tipUse freshly boiled water and keep an eye on the clock: steeping past the suggested time brings out a drier, more astringent cup.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
