Organic Yunnan Gold (Dian Hong Golden Monkey)

Some black teas are bold.
Others are elegant.

Organic Yunnan Gold somehow manages to be both.

Crafted from beautiful golden-tipped leaves grown high in the mountains, this tea brews into a cup that feels rich yet remarkably smooth, naturally sweet, softly layered, and comforting from the very first sip.

Notes of roasted sweet potato rise gently from the cup, followed by warm malt, soft cocoa, and a mellow sweetness that lingers without heaviness. There is depth here, but no sharpness: strength, but no bitterness.

It is the kind of tea that feels luxurious without trying too hard.

A quiet kind of luxury.

 Origin

This tea is grown in the legendary Yellow Mountain (黄山) region of Anhui Province, China, an area celebrated for producing some of the country’s most respected teas.

Although the cultivar itself is native to Yunnan, it is cultivated here at elevations above 2000 meters, where cooler temperatures and mountain mist allow the leaves to grow slowly and develop exceptional sweetness and complexity.

High-elevation tea often carries a different kind of character—cleaner, softer, and more layered.

You can taste that altitude in this tea.

The result is a beautifully refined Dian Hong-style black tea with remarkable smoothness and golden richness.

 How It Is Made

Organic Yunnan Gold is crafted using carefully selected leaves rich in golden buds, prized for their softness, sweetness, and elegant texture.

After harvest, the leaves are gently withered, rolled, and fully oxidized to develop their deep amber liquor and layered flavour profile.

The high concentration of golden buds contributes to the tea’s natural sweetness and smooth finish, while careful drying preserves its warm roasted notes and soft complexity.

Unlike stronger breakfast-style black teas, Yunnan Gold focuses on balance.

It is rich without becoming heavy.

Sweet without needing anything added.

And smooth enough to drink slowly.
