Golden Black 50g
Pure bud black tea made from high-altitude material of exceptional quality. Only the youngest bud sprouts are hand-picked and processed into this delicate, “imperial-grade” tea.
The aroma recalls stone fruit, roses, sugarcane, and milk chocolate; the liquor is sweet, thick, mouth-filling, and lingering. During oxidation, the silvery down covering the buds transforms into a striking golden hue — a delight to behold and to drink.
We suggest brewing this tea at a cooler temperature than other black teas in order to tease out the delicate sweet, flowery and chocolate notes.
