Honeyed Golden Needle Wild Black

Honeyed Golden Needle Wild Black – Wholesale Ancient-Tree Purple-Varietal Yunnan Black Tea

Honeyed Golden Needle Wild Black is a rare wild black tea from the high mountains of Yunnan, grown at altitudes over 1, 800 meters. It is made from the small-leaf purple tea varietal, known to contain over 300% more anthocyanins than traditional cultivars, and is harvested from wild trees aged 100 to 200 years. For connoisseur-focused tea shops and tea bars, it is a standout premium black tea.

The ancient trees produce a striking needle shape that is uncommon even among Yunnan's most premium teas. The dry leaves give off an immediate orange-blossom sweetness that develops into deeper notes of fermented dried plum and finishes with a cool, refreshing breath of wild mint. The liquor is a deep, glowing gold, the flavor recalls fresh-pressed sugarcane, the texture is smooth and vibrant, and the finish is long and clean with lingering honeyed florals and orchid. That orchid fragrance persists even after multiple infusions. The result is an authentic expression of wild, ancient-tree black tea, balancing floral, sweet and cooling forest notes.
