Organic Tea Yunnan Sunlight (Black tea)

Unveil the Secret of... Organic Tea Yunnan Sunlight

One of the most distinguishing features of Yunnan black tea is its rich, smooth, rose and malty flavor with a hint of sweetness. This flavor profile is a result of the specific processing and drying methods used in the production of this tea. The sun-drying process is particularly crucial, as it helps to retain the maximum natural nutrient content in the tea leaves. This ensures that the final product does not have a dry-throat or astringent taste, making for a more enjoyable and palatable drinking experience.
