Stylish means very visually appealing typified by tippy, neat, wiry and well made leaves. This tea is characterized by its fine shape (black lustre and distinctive golden yellow buds), varnished color, fragrant aroma, malty taste and top quality. It is a distinctive specialty tea, so much so that when it was first exported to London it commanded a title as a special species of tea. When steeped, the essential elements of the leaf infuse giving a bright reddish liquor with a brisk and lingering fragrant aroma with toasty lovely notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYunnan is in an ideal location to grow tea.

Pour 1 1\/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1867307841,"sku":"559-100","price":18.53,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1867307905,"sku":"559-250","price":36.02,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1867307969,"sku":"559-500","price":54.55,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1867308033,"sku":"559-1000","price":102.93,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/559.jpeg?v=1442448748","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/golden-heaven-yunnan-black-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
