My favorite tea |
10/22/2020 |
This tea has been my favorite for quite some time. And it’s quite moderately priced. I used to have to order Yunnan tea from England, since no local vendors stocked it. (I live in Duluth.) But the cost of postage was huge! and their Yunnan didn’t taste nearly as good as S&V’s. A person could spend three times the price, and still not find a smoother, more delicious tea than Imperial Yunnan. |

This is the best black tea I have ever had. I love it! It is very earthy, reminds me of being in a stable. It has a good strong flavor so you don't need very much to get a satisfying cup. Also is very low in astringency which I love! |

Yunnan that isnt what I expect! |

Ive had this one a few times, but even with a heaping teaspoon for a mug, the flavor ends up too bitey and astringent so I wanted to try with a flat teaspoon to see what would happen. Much better. A flat teaspoon is best! The leaves of this Yunnan are smaller sized with multiple brown colors, no gold -- almost seems more like an Assam in both the look of the leaf and the flavor. Its dark and crisp yet has that juicy, thirst quenching quality that only Assam has for me. Its dusky and malty with hints of fruit... possibly cherry. A typical Yunnan to me is chocolate, honey, sweet potato and this is a very different tea than those flavor notes. I dont taste any of those with this one! BUT the color of the brew DID remind me of milk chocolate. If only there were chocolate notes to this one... it would be wonderful to have a naturally tasting chocolate & cherries tea! So this isnt your typical Yunnan, but delicious and hits that robust black tea craving.
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoon for a full mug// 10 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 minute steep |

Distinctive, delicious tea |

Imperial Yunnan is aptly named. It is truly a full bodied tea with a rich,
satisfying after taste. I have bought small samples of your best tea and
each day I will devote to a different blend. This is a five star tea. |

My favorite black tea from Simpson and Vail.A unique taste of pepper and the faint scent of hay make this a great addition to any black tea collection. |
