Harvested in Yunnan Province toward the end of spring, our Yunnan Pearl is crafted from a combination of leaf buds and young leaves. These tea leaves are carefully hand picked, sun withered, rolled to bruise the leaf, and then allowed to fully oxidize before roasting. During oxidation, the leaf buds take on a bright golden hue, while the open leaves turn deep black. The resulting tea is perfect for everyday sipping, offering a rich, deep, and smoky taste with a lovely bittersweet finish.
