It tastes good with only slight bitterness in the first steep. Second and third steeps have no bitterness and still taste good. The leave size is prety small and broken. I'll probably buy this again, or try a similar tea elsewhere and decide which I prefer. Price is fair. I'd give it 4.5 if possible.
Organic Yunnan Black Tea, Tippy South Cloud, 3.5 oz (100 g)
USDA Organic Pure Leaf Teas Brews 50 Cups Certified Organic by QAI Origin Yunnan, China Yunnan, or 'South Cloud' is regarded as one of the areas where tea originated. The Southern part of this province is home to the Mekong and Lancang river basins, lush mountains and for the famous tea category of Puer. It is also the native home of the Dayeh, broad leaf tea varietal. Yunnan black teas are often referred to as Dian Hong tea, named after the central area of Yunnan, which was known as Dian in third century BC. Tippy South Cloud Made at a 100% organic tea garden with a mix of black and gold tipped leaves. The color emerges as a result of withering (moisture drying of the leaves), a critical step in processing of the leaves. Only a few areas in Yunnan contain the varietal of tea plant that produces golden leaves. Other areas known to have gold-tipped varietals are Hunan and Fujian provinces in China and Assam in India. Tippy South Cloud is excellent in the late summer months and, since it is a heavy oxidized (darker) tea, it maintains its flavor well over time. Flavor Profile Uplifting, smooth, full-bodied texture with slightly smoky aroma.

Love that I found a Yunnan tea on Iherb that is organic!
Tastes great, but not the best Yunnan tea I’ve had. Love the packaging I honestly think I’ll still using it after I run out of tea. For the price it’s definitely worth it, and the loose leaf makes it last longer. Though it’s not traditional it tastes great with milk and honey!
I am impressed with Tao of Tea for the most part but this one was a little shy on the flavor side. Will not buy again.
The tea is decent and perfectly drinkable, but it doesn’t have the same aroma as the Chinese teas from other brands that I’ve tried.
This is one of the best teas I tasted. Very mild, fine aroma, great taste. Quality is very high. A little pricey but it's worth the money.
I consistently have a good experience with this brand of tea. The packaging is solid and helps the tea stay fresh- I like that I can reuse the containers. They use high quality organic leaves and blends. This particular tea seems fairly caffeinated and has a nice strong flavor…I like to serve it has breakfast tea. Will definitely repurchase.
Good quality. Tastes great. Size is fair. Package is very good.
excellent product,good and strong packaging , the quality matches the description, I will still recommend ordering to everyone!!! okay
The tea comes in a well designed tin that not only preserve freshness but also can be reused. This tea is recommended for its rich flavor profile and smooth texture. I drink it with oat milk.
