My first time ordering this tea, and it won’t be my last. I rarely pay attention to the location my tea comes from (unless it’s Assam), but I think I will be checking out more teas from China. The label for this one says “Smooth with a lovely earthy undertone”, and that describes it about perfectly. The “earthy undertone” is very delicate if such a term can be applied to “earthy”, and it is delicious. “Golden” is the perfect name for its colour as well. Very good.
