Category: Black Tea

Yunnan Black Tower makes a stunning presentation—tea leaves with numerous golden tips, braided into cones that open up while brewing. Golden buds give an inviting raspberry-sweetness to the aroma, which lingers at the upper edge of the flavor profile. Longer steeps bring out the rustic tobacco flavor often associated with Yunnan Province teas, releasing a sharp mineral edge to the aftertaste.

For a visual-and-mouthwatering treat, brew this tea in a glass container and watch the cones unfurl! When steeped, these cones resist bitterness, making them both extremely versatile and a nice choice for gong fu brewing. But even then, the tea remains smooth, medium-bodied, and—with a malty sweet undercurrent—utterly drinkable.

Every Yunnan Black Tower cone makes a 12-ounce serving of tea. Either enjoy a cup (and subsequent re-steeps) yourself, or throw a few in a teapot and share this amazing tea with friends.

Isabella ★★★★★

The braided cone shape is genuinely fun to watch—mine unfurled slowly over the first steep and the golden tips were really visible in the dry leaf. That raspberry sweetness in the aroma comes through nicely before you even take a sip.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I wasn’t sure how the cones would hold up in my teapot, but they unfurled beautifully and the raspberry-sweetness in the aroma came through just as described. The golden tips give it a smoothness that made my afternoon cup feel special.

Kevin ★★★★★

The braided cones really are the star here—they unwind beautifully in the pot, and the golden tips give off that raspberry-sweet aroma before you even take a sip. Brewed up a deep, smooth cup that kept its character for three steepings, which was a pleasant surprise.
