Yunnan Lily Black highlights the unforgettable aromas of the Jin Xuan "Golden Lily" tea plant cultivar. Jin Xuan was originally developed in Taiwan and is a very versatile cultivar that’s grown in many regions. Jin Xuan makes excellent black tea and various types of oolong teas, including the famous “Milk Oolong” marketed for its subtly sweet and floral milky aroma. When processed according to Yunnan Dian Hong red tea methods, the Jin Xuan cultivar yields spectacular aromas of tropical fruits, honey and flowers. Our Yunnan Lily Black is grown in a biodiverse and exceptionally well-managed, high mountain organic tea garden in Wa Shan, a lush mountainous region of southwestern Yunnan named after the Wa ethnic minority group who have farmed tea in this area for centuries.
