This lovely tea was a replacement for me... Tippy Yunnan used to be my favourite H&S tea, but the flavour changed in the early 2020s, so I've been on the hunt for another favourite black unflavoured tea since then. Ancient Yunnan is definitely a good option, it doesn't become bitter if accidentally oversteeped. It is good black, with a little honey, or with a bit of steamed milk. It's a little more expensive than I would pick for my everyday tea, but it's a nice splurge for a weekend tea experience. :)
I enjoyed the Ancient Yunnan. I've loved Golden Heaven Yunnan for years, so thought I'd try this one. It has a smooth, deep character; I drink it black or sometimes with a bit of honey, but I think it would hold up well for those who like to add cream.
Wonderful natural sweetness with some fruit notes. How can you not love teas that you don't have to sweeten? Yunnans are my favorites for a reason. I only wish there was a slightly larger tin than the 1.5 oz.
This tea was wonderful! I’m almost out & need to order more - but it seems everyone else must be loving it, too, because it’s out of stock. Oh no!!! I’m going to miss it!
The Rao family makes this tea in the mountains of Yunnan from 400-year-old trees, making for a complex and delightful brew.
