Yunnan Black Tea


         
        You can discover coffee and tea shops in the weirdest places. Yesterday I was walking around the Mall of America with a couple of friends looking for a specialty coffee and tea shop. Instead of being out in the open like most of the stores, this one was hidden in the back of Sears. Which is surprising not because of where it is but because of the amount of specialty coffee and teas it has. I was going to pick up some Pu-erh but their bulk tea had yeast on it and so you had to go through this long process to clean it and quite honestly I don't feel like risking my health. So instead I went with the tea below.

Name: Yunnan Special Grade Organic ( I think it's gold tip Yunnan but I am unsure because he didn't mark it)
Type: Black, Yunnan
Company: Coffee and Tea LTD
Purchased: Coffee And Tea Shop in Sears in the Mall of America
Comments/Taste: Smooth and some what smoky flavor. It's a very unique black tea.
