Description

Few teas produced in the world make the Royal grade and we are proud to offer this tea. It is made from high-quality buds that are painstakingly hand-picked and sorted. These tender, young leaves are covered and sun withered before oxidizing in temperature controlled rooms. With a careful balance of heat and moisture, the sauna-like environment causes the tea leaves to turn gold rather than black. Every few hours, the leaves must be turned over, which is done by hand..for forty days! This labor intensive process yields an exquisite masterpiece. Golden Yunnan Royal Grade tea has deep, malty flavors with top notes of citrus and lychee. Each complex cup invigorates the senses and and elevates the day to royal status.

Golden Yunnan Royal Grade has become my staple tea

This is a nice tea and reasonably priced. This is what I drink most of the time. I noticed early during my journey into whole-leaf teas that I like the taste and smell of teas that had a lot of golden tips. As I explored and sampled teas I found that the more golden tips the better for my pallet, and I eventually found Golden Yunnan Royal Grade.

Mild tea, not bitter

I ordered a sample of this tea and was really pleased with how mild it was. There was no bitterness, just smooth.

Top tier tea

This tea is about as good as you can get. Brews up light golden has a pleasant aroma and world class taste that has no bitterness. I will order more of this one. If you're thinking about giving it a try skip the sample you won't be sorry.
