A. Supreme Organic Yunnan Tian Hong Black Tea
Golden Tian Hong Black Tea #55003 A beautiful, delicate tea, this golden-tipped black tea is smooth, fragrant and has a faint natural sweetness. “Tian” is the abbreviated from for China’s Yunnan province, thus, the name for the province’s finest black tea is “Tian-Hong”. This tea is renowned for its beautiful golden-tipped leaves and fragrant aroma, and a soft sweetness that reminds one of baked sugar. In the 19th century, Keemun and Tian-Hong were often presented as gifts to European ambassadors and other elites. It was the English in fact who, utilizing these two different strains of Chinese black teas created the tea industry of Darjeeling. Ironically, it was their worldwide dominance in the 19th century that led to their present decline; the huge demand resulted in a lowering of standards. Even a brief encounter with the higher grades of this tea should result in this regaining of its position as one of the world’s finest black teas.
