About This Tea

Yunnan Lily Black highlights the unforgettable aromas of the Jin Xuan "Golden Lily" tea bush cultivar. Jin Xuan was originally developed in Taiwan. It is a very versatile cultivar that is grown in many of the world’s tea producing regions. Jin Xuan makes excellent black and green teas and various types of oolong tea. When processed according to the Yunnan Dian Hong black tea style during the first flush season, the Jin Xuan cultivar yields spectacular aromas of tropical fruits, honey and flowers. Our Lily Black is selected from a high mountain organic tea garden in Wa Shan, a remote area of Yunnan named after the Wa ethnic tribe who have farmed tea in this region for more than a thousand years.
