Davidson's Yunnan Black Loose-Leaf Tea, 16 oz — Full-Bodied Organic Chinese Black Tea with Spicy-Malty Finish

Davidson's Organics Yunnan Black is a full-bodied loose-leaf Chinese black tea with a peppery-sweet profile and a long, spicy finish.

Harvested from Yunnan-style gardens and handled by Davidson's vertically integrated supply chain, this 16-ounce bag brings a concentrated black-tea character to your kettle. The leaves brew into a dark, amber liquor with pronounced malt, spice, and subtle sweetness. Packed USDA organic, non-GMO, and sustainably sourced, it’s designed for everyday drinking or as a base for blended creations.

What flavor should I expect from Yunnan Black?

This tea offers a bold, malty backbone with warm peppery notes and a hint of natural sweetness. The finish leans slightly spicy rather than bitter, making it robust without overpowering delicate additions like milk or honey.

• Malt and cocoa undertones for richness
• Peppery, spicy finish that lingers
• Balanced sweetness—no cloying aftertaste
• Produces a dark amber cup with a smooth mouthfeel

How should I brew Davidson's Yunnan Black for best results?

Use freshly boiled water (around 200–212°F) and steep loose leaves for 3–5 minutes depending on taste. Start lighter and extend steeping time if you want stronger spice and body; the leaves hold up well to multiple infusions.

• Spoon: 1 teaspoon per 6–8 oz cup, adjust to preference
• Water temp: near boiling for best extraction
• Steep time: 3 minutes for mild, 4–5 minutes for full body
• Re-steeping: 1–2 additional infusions possible for lighter cups

What makes Davidson's Yunnan Black different from other black teas?

Beyond its geographic character, this tea is produced and packaged by Davidson's Organics, a vertically integrated company overseeing growing, blending, and packing. That control helps maintain organic integrity and consistent flavor across batches.

• Owned supply chain from leaf to bag for quality control
• USDA organic certification and non-GMO practices
• Traditional Yunnan-style processing for spicy, malty notes
• Sold in a generous 16-ounce loose-leaf bag for frequent use

Can I use Yunnan Black in blends or as a morning tea?

Yes—its full-bodied nature makes it an excellent base for blends and a reliable morning cup. It pairs well with cream, sugar, or spices and stands up to milk-based preparations like a hearty breakfast tea or chai blends.

• Great base for masala chai or flavored blends
• Holds up to milk and sweeteners without losing structure
• Works well iced or as a hot, comforting brew
• Versatile for culinary uses such as syrups or poaching liquids
