Information: This rare tea consists of mostly golden tips with fine aroma. It brews an exceptionally smooth liquor with a rich peppery finish. This tea is one of the top qualities available from Yunnan Province. It is only made during the last two weeks of March and the first two weeks of April, when the new season growth flushes in a particular manner that gives a high percentage of golden tip. Drink this tea and you treat yourself to one of the world’s great teas. Yunnan is in an ideal location to grow tea. This is characterized by: a) annual average temperature of 15 degrees C b) annual accumulated precipitation of 45 inches c) relative humidity of 75% during the tea growing period d) an average soil pH value of 4.5 - 6.5 e) mean altitude of 4000 - 6500 feet above sea level
