Yongde county in Lincang city is one of the last still hidden areas in Yunnan Province. Teas from this region are impressively aromatic.
These days there are several teas in the market resembling Yunnan Gold in their shape, but this particular black tea is special as it is harvested from a 300-year-old tea tree. There are tiny furry tips on the inner side of the leaves which are long and full. The liquor is a deep amber color, sweet and aromatic, with notes of muscat and apricots.

How to prepare
3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp
95°C 203°F
150 ml 5.1 fl oz 150 cc
30 sec.~
STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/150ml ratio, pour boiling water on them, and brew for 30 seconds. (No need for rinsing the leaves before the first brew.)
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
This tea definitely surprised me, it isn't as sweet as the previous dianhongs i had but it had a complexity to it that dianhongs generally don't. There isn't an after taste to it though that i find is pretty signature to old tree teas even when brewing with double the leaves. I feel that should be noteworthy for those expecting that effect for buying this tea!
