Description
Yunnan Black Tea is considered the most gourmet black tea in China. This is due to shared tea crops with Yunnan’s flagship tea – Puerh. Tea trees used to produce such black are wild grown, healthy aged trees. This gives the black tea a very bold and unquietly strong flavor compared with other black teas.
This Yunnan Black Tea is sun dried, meaning it uses a sun drying process instead of a machine one, to dry the tea. This process is much more time consuming and expensive, but leads to a higher quality tea. The village where this tea is grown also utilizes other traditional methods passed down from local farmers. The large leaves allow for higher caffeine saturation compared to smaller leaves.
This flagship black tea of Qiful Life is suitable for those who want a strong black tea that is bold, fresh and highly energetic. We fell in love with this at first sip, and trust you will as well.

I honestly haven’t had a tea that I haven’t liked from this website, but this tea is notably one of my favorites, second only to the Wuyi Mountain Rock Tea (if you haven’t tried it, it will change your world). The Yunnan Black Tea has a really nice almost fruity lightly sweet flavor to it, not overly bitter and a good amount of caffeine. Being a coffee drinker, I appreciate the caffeine kick from this tea. Really love this tea
