This is a Wu Yi varietal black tea called “Golden Peony" 金牡丹 that is typically processed into a roasted oolong tea. By processing into a black tea this unique varietal provides a very satisfying experience for the drinker. Replete with fruit aroma and sweetness, it is also lightly astringent but with thick mouth-feel and pleasant cha qi. 


We recommend brewing this with 90C water to gradually coax out flavors and aromas.   

If you are interested in this varietal processed into a traditional Wu Yi Rock Oolong, you can find that tea here!

April Harvest from the Wu Yi Mountain area of Fujian

Fruity dark chocolate

"I was very excited to try out this tea. Wow!, this black tea is amazing! After opening the package you can smell dark chocolate and dried, ripe fruits. A very pleasant scent. Tea is very pleasant to drink, round mouth feel, little sour hint, very sweet and fruity with cacao notes. Ordered a sample of this to try out. Definitely ordering more of this tea."

The Missing Link

"What an outstanding tea! I really see it as a sort of missing link between "regular" Fujian black teas and its brethren across the straight in Taiwan. I'm not sure I can describe it beyond that, so I'll just say that if you like Fujian black teas, get this tea. If you like Taiwanese black teas, get this tea. If you don't like black tea, get this tea. It might just change your mind about black teas. I really hope this becomes a permanent member of the YS family!"
