brewing-information Description

Cultivated in China’s Yunnan Province, this black China Yunnan tea has a wiry and twisted leaf with distinctive golden tips featured amongst dark leaves. Considered the birthplace of tea, the unique terroir of cloudy and misty mountains in China help produce this unique Yunnan Province tea.

Combining some of the best characteristics of traditional China teas as well as teas from India, China Yunnan tea yields a rich amber-red liquor in the cup when brewed. This tea's robust, almost peppery flavor will soon become your favorite!

brewing-information  Brewing Information

Brewing Tips: Our China Yunnan should be made with cold, filtered water that has been brought to a rolling boil (205-212° F). Using one rounded teaspoon of loose tea or one teabag for each cup required, pour the boiling water over the tea leaves. China Yunnan should be steeped for 4-5 minutes. Once the ideal brewing time has been reached, the leaves should be removed to prevent further steeping. Decant and enjoy!

1 pound of loose leaf tea will make approximately 160 cups of brewed tea

8 ounces of loose leaf tea will make approximately 80 cups of brewed tea

    Beautiful All occasion Tea

    We have been ordering this tea from Mark T. Wendell for some years now. My husband loves this tea and I must say it has a beautiful aroma (I'm a green tea drinker). It's a great tea and you can do a second brew with this one. We highly recommend this tea. And, of course, Mark T. Wendell's excellent service and gorgeous packaging. Thank you for this!

    I do not find the China Yunnan my favorite tea. Flavor is very mild and takes more tea leaves to make it interesting.

    I like to move around through black and green teas, often mixing them, depending on the season and my mood. I consistently love your China Yunnan, for its complex but delicate flavor and aroma. As a morning tea, I'll add a bit of kick with Irish Breakfast (Assam).

    It's also lovely mixed with Jasmine, or Dragonwell Green for a milder brew. For those who want something extra in afternoon tea, Yunnan loves a float of Hendricks Gin! But it's always delicious on its own. I am a third generation Mark T Wendell customer. Their products and customer service are 5 stars. Thank you!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it take for my order to ship?

    We strive to ship orders within 2-3 days of receipt. However, due to the handcrafted nature of our products, combined with inventory limitations, some orders may take longer to ship. If there is a significant delay in shipping your order, we will contact you directly with details.

    Are your teas cultivated naturally? Are they Organic?

    All our teas are sourced from tea estates, suppliers and importers that we have personally worked with for decades and many for generations! We only purchase teas that have been cultivated naturally, devoid of pesticides and growth agents.

    Teas that have the term “Organic” in the products name have gone through additional certification by the country or origin and USFDA. Even though all our products are natural, we are unable to list them as Organic unless they have gone through these steps. Sometimes, this certification can be costly and time consuming for growers. Each country has different regulations, so many sell the teas to us without this extra labeling.

    How long does tea stay fresh?

    If sealed properly and stored away from extreme hot/cold temps and moisture, tea will stay as flavorful as the day you bought it, even after 18 months.

    How long should I brew my tea?

    Tea brewing times and water temperature can vary between tea varieties. Please consult this link to find the best method for your tea!
