From the Yunnan region of China, this tea is made from the young tea buds covered in fine hairs. During its processing steps it undergoes a full oxidation leading to its beautiful golden color and sweet aroma. Once brewed, the tea presents a brilliant red color alongside fruity, and chocolatey notes with a deep aftertaste.
