Weight: 50 grams (1.76 oz)
Type: Black Tea - loose leaf
Production area: Fengqing, Lincang County, Yunnan Province

Fengqing tea-producing region was the place where Yunnan Black (also known as Dian Hong) was first produced in the 1930’s. Unlike the regular Yunnan Black, the Apple Spice is made from 100-years-old arbor trees. It has a bright and full-bodied flavor, with notes of apple and honey. Since this tea is made from arbor tea trees instead of small bushes, it has a more complex flavor profile and its leaves can last through many steepings. The tea's robust and complex flavors hold up well even with the addition of milk if preferred. If you are looking for an alternative to your regular morning coffee, give this Yunnan Black tea a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.

I love this black tea 09/21/2021
By Sara K.
This is one of my favorite black teas I've ever tried. It actually does smell like apples. On the later brews, I like to added dried coconut water crystals (I don't do this on the first three brews because I want to appreciate the fullest flavor in the early brews).
Our responseThis is my new favorite black tea too. So flavorful! Glad you like it.

Loved this Tea! But loved the Apple Spice Yunnan Black Pu-erh tea even more. Sadly, it is not available. But if you ever see it, grab it! This one was nice and I used it successfully for multiple brewings. Thank you Bana Tea! You are my go-to tea purveyor.
Our responseThank you Patty for the nice review. I am glad you like the Apple Spice Yunnan Black. If we ever restock the Yunnan Black from Old Trees, we will let you know.
