About: Yunnan teas are called “Dian Hong” which means “Yunnan Red”.
Our Golden needle is a rare black tea made entirely from buds. Hand-picked before start of March.
Grown high in the mountainous region (1800 m altitude), without fertilisers or pesticides involved in region which is famous for it's oldest Tea Trees in the World. 
Then skilfully processed by local artisans which let them wither longer (which enhance fragrance) and oxidise slower (which tones down astringency in the liquor and concentrates flavour).
Yunnan teas are considered one of the most exquisite teas for their incredible balance. They have high mineral content which will increase blood circulation and keeps us warm in cold weather. It also relaxes our minds!
