Yunnan "Black Gold" Black Tea

A traditional process one leaf / one bud ratio black tea from the high Wu Liang mountains of Zhenyuan (in Simao prefecture).  Lightly wilted the leaves still have a slight greenish color amongst the vivid brown-red color.  The traditional processing gives the tea nice floral aroma and taste and allows for longer term aging.  This tea can be drunk for several years, and will have noticeable changes (and improvements) for up to 2 years!
