A top-tier Silver Needle Yellow tea made from the first buds (Pre-Qingming) of trees from Junshan island in Hunan. Sweet corn taste and a little smokiness and hints of raisins.
Yellow teas are relatively rare and involve a 'sealed yellowing' step that softens some of the bitter and astringent notes in green tea into a smoother, sweeter tea, whilst preserving some of the character of a green tea.
Comes in our Golden Dragon Tin.

There are a few tricks that will allow you to get to 85C water without a temperature-controlled kettle. One is to allow the boiling water to cool with the lid off for 3 minutes post-boil, but a quicker way is to add 1 part cold water to 5 parts of hot water.
