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.

so good, but worth the price?

This tea is delicious. It's the only one I've seen with the "high" caffeine level, which I didn't feel when I drank it in case you're worried about caffeine. While this tea is very very good, I've found that it's flavor is similar enough to other black teas that I'm not planning to buy more. If money were no object then I would definitely keep this tea on hand.

Nice smooth tea

I really enjoy this tea. Smooth, pleasant, and (for me) a great transitional tea for me as I move away from being a coffee drinker.

Delicious yellow tea

Forget faint hearted flavor of some white teas, forget the grassiness of some green teas... Imperial Grade Yunnan Yellow offers delightful flavor to be savored hot or over ice. A truly lovely tea.

Smooth flavorful and simple

If you like a medium flavored tea that's not very acidic and ranges in flavors I would suggest this. Brew time dictates strength and brew temp can also play in but I would suggest right before boiling unless you want a bitter flavor. I have purchased this tea multiple times and have always enjoyed it. The only suggestion I have is transferring it to an air tight container as constant wear and tear from repetitively opening the bag can weaken the seal and compromise freshness which, honestly, is to be expected unless you are brewing large pots of tea every time or get a smaller portion

Nice!

I ordered the sample size and liked it so well I then ordered a larger size. So far this is my favorite tea from The Whistling Kettle. However, I have many more to try before I call it my all-time favorite. Still, I think this one will be hard to beat.
