Yunnan Gold Morning

This morning’s cuppa is a Golden Yunnan from Far West Trading Company & Tea Bar:  Yunnan Golden Supreme, Chinese Black.

It was my first order with Far West's online tea shop, and I’m quite pleased with the quality of the teas shipped to me.  The leaves were light and wiry, dusted with downiness that characterizes golden Yunnan.  The dry leaves have aromas of chocolate and cayenne pepper, which become a bit more muted once brewed.  It is a perfect cup of strong morning tea, with great fragrance and a hefty taste that holds up to milk.

My favorite morning mug comes from the American Library Association gift shop.  It is just the right size for me, keeps the tea warm, and (best of all) features the Dewey Decimal number for tea.  What lover of books and tea wouldn’t like this?!  :)
