Description: These attractive golden flecked, marble-sized black tea pearls have been hand-rolled from high grade Yunnan golden tip leaf tea and perfectly compressed into pearls that unfurl while they steep. The experience is a smooth, grounding, earthy cup with notes of sweet malt and stone fruit.
Tasting Notes: The cup begins with a smooth, earthy aroma and a hint of stone fruit. Bold, sweetly malted notes lead to a strong, full bodied profile with vegetal qualities that wake up the entire palate. The tea has a rich finish with a touch of honey sweetness and gentle astringency.
Brewing Instructions: 3-5g per cup. 100ºC water. Steep for 3 minutes or more depending on your preference of flavour.
Organic
China has a rich and ancient tradition of producing high quality teas of all varieties, and black tea is no exception. This is where tea culture and industry, as we know it, began nearly 2,000 years ago.
Known as ‘Red Tea’ in China, the tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis sinensis plant are smaller and finer than their Indian counterparts, the Camellia sinensis assamica, and prefer cooler mountainous regions. Usually plucked by hand and gently processed, the end result are exquisitely fragrant teas with lesser levels of astringency and a soft body.
Several Chinese provinces are famous for their regional tea selections: Fujian Province is home to the well-known, pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong, while Keemun tea, the official choice of the British Queen, is produced in Anhui Province. Yunnan province produces the ever-popular varieties of Yunnan black tea and is also the region where China started its tea cultivation.
The organic teas we import are artisanally farmed and crafted. They may change with each harvest season. The same tea harvested at a different time of year and processed by a different tea maker will vary slightly in flavour and finish.
