Description: Representing some of the smoothest black teas from Guangxi, Organic Black Spiral is notable for its prominent gold tips. Only certain tea plant varietals have the characteristic to transition into the gold color during leaf processing. Golden colored leaves generally provide a more honey-like texture to the brew. This tea is smooth and delicious when brewed properly (short steeps), and provides four good steepings.
