About this tea
Our finest grade of Dianhong black tea, harvested from Mengku heirloom varietal tea trees in China's southwestern Yunnan Province, the birthplace of tea. Masterfully oxidized into an auburn color flecked with golden buds, this black tea has an impressive strength, density and refined finish. Golden Yunnan has a richly textured infusion that offers hints of peppery spice, notes of chocolate and sweet lychee with a deep malty finish.

Wa Shan Ecological Tea Garden sits in Lincang, on the border with Myanmar (Burma) in southwestern Yunnan. Surrounded by a lush and biodiverse mountainous region, this certified organic tea farm is one we have been working with since 2013. Wa Shan is a famous tea mountain since ancient times named after the Wa ethnic minority who have farmed tea in this region for more than a thousand years.

Traditional Preparation

Do not rinse this tea; infuse the 1st brew for 2 - 3 minutes.

Repeat several times until the flavor and aroma of the tea dissipates. As the brewing session ensues, increase the infusion time to coax out the body and strength of the final infusions. This top-shelf black tea is delightfully smooth and aromatic when brewed straight, or divine with a touch of milk and sugar.

    Awesome tea

    This tea is stunning. Very aromatic as well as smooth. Very happy I ordered Golden Yunnon. When it is gone, I will quickly order another pound.

    Really Really Good!

    This has become one of my favorite daily teas. TBH, all of the tea that I've ordered from Rishi is excellent, and I try a lot of teas from other sellers as well. The nice thing about Golden Yunnan is that you can infuse it multiple times.

    New favorite black tea, and holds up to multiple steeping, so reasonable cost in the end

    I just got this for the first time (I first tasted a free sample a few years ago). I had avoided it due to the price, but then I read the preparation detail regarding several brews each time and realized that it's actually not bad if you follow through on resteeping. I brewed 5 times when the order arrived - once 2 minutes, second 4 minutes third around 7, then 15, and finally half the quantity of water for a long time. All brews were really lovely! Perhaps my new favorite black tea, at least for days I am around the house in the morning!
