Black Tea

When steeped, the golden down covered buds of Yunnan Gold develop into a brew with an auburn sheen. The leaves from spring's harvest release a rounded caramel richness and a lingering finale of spice - ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Strong and full-bodied, this black tea from rich-soiled Yunnan province is particularly good first thing in the morning. Its underlying sweetness also plays well with a late afternoon slice of Madeira cake or a sticky piece of baklava.

Forget what you may think Lapsang tea is.  This is completely different.  Instead of being harsh, acrid and undrinkable for all but a few people, this tea is smooth and slightly smoky with a beautifully sweet aftertaste.  It is made by the first farm ever to make black tea. The same family, centuries later, is still making it in exactly the same way  - slowly dried over pine wood fires. 

Gold Tip Assam is an exceptional whole leaf tea, sealed in large specially designed biodegradable tea bags, individually wrapped for freshness. The result is the definitive Assam tea taste - rich and lively with body and strength, without harshness.                                                                                                                                                                           Pack  contains 20 bio-degradeable  teabags.
