Yunnan Black Tea
Black tea from Yunnan is among the most robust but refined black teas produced in the whole world! Typically Yunnan Black teas are made from Assamica or Assamica hybrid. Since the end of the Second World War Yunnan Black teas have steadily increased in popularity and in the last 20 years a series of interesting hybrids were developed that greatly enhanced both the diversity and taste of the tea! Black teas vary according to their hybrid, harvest season, pick style, and processing! Hybrids include:
- Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica, which is the original assamica varietal, it is not an intentional hybrid.
- Yun Kang #10, a drought-resistant hybrid of Sinensis and Assamica that is tippy and sweet, with malty notes.
- Yun Kang #100, similar to #10, but has larger and fatter buds.
- Chang Ye Bai Hao, the tips are more pronounced and one side of the leaves will be downier than the other side!
- Wild tree varietal (野生) is a Assamica Kuntze varietal that grows wild and is quite rare. It was only the last few years that it was processed into Black tea. The tea is sour and thick when young, but ages well and develops textures of red wine and fruit with a little age.

If I go long, it gets a sour taste. When that happens, I just dilute it with a weaker brew. Yeasty, malty weird, spicy and good. Tricky to brew, but really pays off. It's great tea.On 2012 Cha Yu Lin "Korla Pear Aroma" Hua Zhuan Tea of HunanJJamey S.Verified Buyer5.0 star rating01/20/25SmoothReview by Jamey S. on 20 Jan 2025 review stating SmoothThis tea is a hidden gem on here. It's as good as the popular " Silk Road " Fu that sold out. Excellent Fu.On 2015 Gao Jia Shan "Yi Pin Fu" Wild Harvested Hunan Tian Fu Brick TeaJJamey S.Verified Buyer5.0 star rating01/20/25Great tea, SUPER calmingReview by Jamey S. on 20 Jan 2025 review stating Great tea, SUPER calmingI like to brew this in a flask with boiling water. 15 minutes seems to be the sweet spot. If I go longer than that, it starts to get a little ' sour, ' which is the astringent, bitter thing, but it's very mild. I'll just dilute it with a weaker, subsquent brew when that happens. The tea is VERY dense. This tea is great. Has a malty, yeasty kind of thing, and spiced tastes, maybe subtle black pepper overtones, almost cinnamon. Very peculiar tea, I like it. The theanine seems to be potent with this tea, makes me super calm when I brew it as described. I love tea like this, that I can brew in a flask when I don't feel like getting busy with the gaiwan all morning. This tea is a great change of pace, and I will get it again. Probably not for everyone, it hasn't dethroned Fu as my favorite Hei Cha, but it's up there, for certain.On 2009 Gao Jia Shan "Qian Liang Cha" Hunan Hei Cha TeaIIan O.Verified Buyer5.0 star rating01/20/25Smooth and light teaReview by Ian O. on 20 Jan 2025 review stating Smooth and light teaI could drink this tea everyday.
