Yunnan Jig is a black tea from the Yunnan province of China, the birthplace of tea itself. Yunnan black tea is easily identified by its abundance of soft golden tips, and savory cocoa and black pepper flavors. It is a very forgiving tea; it will not taste bitter when over-steeped. Our Yunnan Jig black tea has a sweet, almost creamy aroma. Rich and savory flavor, with a slight cocoa powder finish. Earthy and spicy and soft, smooth mouthfeel and finish. Classic Yunnan.

The word jig has three definitions. The first, and perhaps most common, is as a lively dance. The second is as a tool designed to guide or hold other tools or work pieces in place. The third, now antiquated definition, is as a trick or practical joke, from which we get the Elizabethan idiom “the jig is up,” pertaining of course to when someone’s trick was discovered. We’d like to humbly submit a new definition though: delicious black tea.
