Golden Snail Black Tea (Dianhong) 100g

Yunnan Golden Snail is a black tea from the Yunnan province of China, the birthplace of tea itself. Much of the tea in this southern province is a large leaf variety. Grown at 1500 meters above sea level where the mountains are veiled in mist, with clean water and rich soil form ideal growing conditions and contribute to the unique flavor. Our Yunnan Golden Snail is a hand-rolled tea, with leaves tightly curled into a 'golden snail' shape. The aroma is sweet with hints of honey and spice. Mellow and smooth, deep fruity astringency, tremendous depth of flavor, cinnamon bark and nutmeg in the finish. A terrifically textured cup of tea.

Compared to other black teas, the difference in appearance of this one is quite obvious. This tea uses one bud with two leaves as the raw material; the first note on its scent is its rich pekoe aroma, which develops into a sweet, ripe fruity aroma when brewed. The liquid is bright and clear, bearing a strong honey aroma with a characteristic note of chocolate to it. The taste is mellow and smooth, and blends excellently with milk, honey.
