Description
Like a box of tiny, sweet cigars. The mellow body and rich texture produce a cup that delivers roasted grains, barely ripe plums, and of course, tobacco.
Made the last week of March 2023 in Lincang City, Yunnan Province. It’s a classic Yunnan Gold Needle comprised of buds only from the Xiang Gui cultivar growing at 5,500 feet.
This tea was formerly called Gilded Needle Yunnan.
