Yunnan Lily Black
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 now grown in many of the world’s tea-producing regions. Jin Xuan makes excellent black and green teas, as well as various types of oolong.
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.

Traditional Tea Preparation
Add 5g-6g to a gaiwan or gongfu teapot (per 200mL).
Don’t rinse this tea.
Use water cooled to 200°F.
Infuse for 3 minutes and decant.
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.
