Yunnan lime & safflower
A sophisticated citrus blend built on a smooth, golden-tipped Yunnan black tea base. The rich, malty sweetness of the Chinese tea perfectly softens the zesty kick of lime, while vibrant red safflower petals add a touch of visual elegance. A mellow yet refreshing brew.
Description
Experience the "mocha" of citrus teas. Unlike brisk and sharp Ceylon blends, this tea starts with a foundation of premium Yunnan Black Tea (Dianhong) from China. Known for its savory, cocoa-like depth and complete lack of bitterness, the Yunnan base provides a velvety backdrop for the flavoring.
The addition of tangy lime zest cuts through the maltiness, creating a delicious interplay between sweet and sour. Scattered with fiery red safflower petals (Carthamus tinctorius), this blend is visually striking and exceptionally smooth on the palate. It is the perfect choice for those who want a citrus tea that is rich and comforting rather than sharp and astringent.
