The character and subtle quality of this floral, sweet tea have earned it the name “the mocha of teas” or “surgeon’s tea”, because it awakens without over stimulating. A superb leaf with plenty of golden buds. An essential classic at Palais des Thés.
Grand Yunnan Imperial is the most popular single-origin tea at Palais des Thés. It has converted many coffee drinkers and is an excellent substitute for coffee at the start of the day.

Beautiful black tea, I like to infuse for 2-3 minutes max, as I don't like it to strong

This tea is full and well rounded, with woody notes that linger lightly on the palate. Excellent paired with breakfast fruit and toast.

This is a superb tea to drink in the British way, with a little milk. 100 Centigrade and five minutes and you have a very tasty morning brew. Unique flavour which might take a little getting used to.
