    notes - MALTED GRAIN | WILD HONEY | ORCHARD FRUIT

    A golden bud black tea from Lincang, Yunnan, made from early spring buds of Fengqing large-leaf varietal. Oxidized slowly to build texture and sweetness, this pressed tea steeps smooth and dense—like wild honey—with a lasting cold floral finish. A mellow, full-bodied black tea with natural depth and clarity.
