2025 Spring Yunnan Golden Bud Black Tea

Description

This spring-harvest Yunnan Golden Bud black tea from Fengqing is notable for its clean, pure profile and the rare balance it strikes between elegance and depth. Made predominantly from tender golden buds, it brews with clarity and focus, without heaviness or muddiness. This particular batch has less of a heavy roast to focus on a more elegant aroma profile.

The flavour opens with a soft malty sweetness, followed by deep baked notes that develop steadily through the session. As the infusion progresses, the tea finishes with a rich, lingering malt character that remains smooth rather than overpowering.

In earlier steeps there is a subtle creamy texture that adds roundness to the liquor. Later infusions introduce a light, controlled astringency, providing structure and balance without drying the palate. This evolution makes the tea engaging to brew rather than one-dimensional.

A well-made Yunnan black tea that rewards careful brewing, offering both comfort and complexity in equal measure.
