Yunnan Golden Tips Tea

Yunnan Golden Tips, also known as Yunnan Gold Tea, is a top-grade black tea from China’s celebrated Yunnan province. Its striking golden buds and warm amber-gold infusion make every cup feel a little special, while its naturally sweet, smooth character makes it an exceptional choice for mornings.

This full-bodied tea offers a rich, comforting profile without the sharp bitterness sometimes found in black tea. Even with a slightly longer steep, it remains remarkably mellow and easy to drink. Expect notes of honey, cocoa, and sweet malt, balanced by a gentle earthiness characteristic of fine Yunnan teas.

High in caffeine, Yunnan Golden Tips is a satisfying alternative to coffee when you want steady, uplifting energy with a more refined ritual. Enjoy it plain to appreciate its natural sweetness, or add a splash of milk for a softer, richer cup.

Traditional Consumption & Cultural Use

Yunnan black teas are traditionally enjoyed throughout China as warming daily teas, often served plain to highlight their natural sweetness and aromatic depth. They are well suited to both Western-style mug brewing and multiple shorter infusions in a small teapot or gaiwan.

Brewing Instructions

Steep 1 teaspoon of tea per 8 oz of water at 195°F for 3–5 minutes. For a stronger cup, use more tea rather than extending the steep time.
