- This Ancient Tree Golden Needle tea is known as the dazzling flower among Yunnan black teas, with a honey-flavored, fresh, and charming taste. Yunnan Golden Needle black tea from Yunnan province, China; harvested in a remote, hard-to-access tea garden from wild ancient tea trees at altitudes of over 2000m, with a local heritage of more than 2000 years of tea culture as well as plucking and processing art; certified health and environment-friendly. This is a spectacular plucking of Yunnan, composed entirely of very long golden tips.
- There is a specific morning in the mountains of Fengqing that we try to capture in every tin of this tea. It is the moment in early spring when the mist begins to lift, the sun hits the dewy tips of the ancient tea trees, and the air itself smells sweet—of wet stone, wild nectar, and the first push of new growth.
- The name of the Ancient Tree Golden Needle comes from its appearance, which is similar to a golden needle. It is made of the big leaf buds or one bud and one leaf of Dianhong tea as raw materials and is carefully made. It is mainly produced in Fengqing, Lincang, Yunnan, where tea trees grow particularly well due to the beautiful scenery.
- From the moment you open the package, you are met with a liveliness that only a true first flush can provide. The dry leaf—plump, downy, and shimmering with golden trichomes—radiates a scent that is sharp, sweet, and incredibly fresh. It smells of fresh wildflower honey stirred into a cup of barley water, with a high, crisp note that recalls the snap of a ripe pear. This is not the heavy, raisiny scent of autumn harvests; this is the bright, electric energy of spring.
- Ancient Tree Golden Needle is an exceptional black tea processed entirely by hand in early spring. It hails from the birthplace of tea, Yunnan Province in China, where it is grown at high altitudes. The wild growth of the tea trees in their natural habitat and the gentle and careful plucking. Therefore, our golden needle black tea is 100% healthy and environmentally friendly.
- This Ancient Tree Golden Needle tea is carefully made through innovative technology based on the traditional Gongfu Dianhong tea. It has a straight and upright appearance, all single buds, golden and bright color, oily and eye-catching. After brewing, the soup is orange-yellow and clear, transparent and bright, with a sweet and fragrant aroma, high and far-reaching, sweet and rich taste, full and mellow, and the bottom of the leaves is red and even, regular and orderly.
- The result is a black tea with a full-bodied, round taste that combines a rich spectrum of pronounced aromas, ranging from coconut and honey to cocoa and chocolate notes in perfect harmony. If we say that the taste of this tea, whose secret apart from the skillful processing is also the perfect balance of the ratio between young buds and pertaining leaves.
- The abundance of golden downy buds, which are rich in amino acids, produces a rich and complex chocolate liquor. The delightful dry leaf aroma is woody and lightly floral, with a hint of chocolate. The brew’s deep caramel color hints at its bold aromas of drying tobacco, wildflower honey and blond woods. Its honey-sweet flavor is full-bodied, round, and brimming with smooth notes of apple blossoms, apricots, buttery baked yams and chocolate. The long-lasting aftertaste has exquisite notes of tobacco and bittersweet chocolate.
