• Item No. B08708-1 Yunnan Black Congou Tea
• From the southern province of China, Yunnan Black Congou Tea is growing in high altitude about 5000 feet above sea level. The characteristics of the tea are unusual large leaves with a high content of golden tips.  Moreover, farmers hand-roll the dried leaves in lengthwise about 1 inch. It yields strong thick liquor and an abundance of rich, spicy and sappy taste. We would suggest best serve this tea in gong fu style with a small Yixing clay teapot.  You will find that Yunnan Black Congou Tea holds up very well as an iced tea due to its full-bodied and sweetly fragrance. The first production of this black tea happened there at the end year of 1938. It dominated the tea market for years by its unique peppery taste.
• In Short, this tea requires extraordinary skills in all steps of their manufacture–from the plucking to the initial sorting to the manufacture and final sorting.
