About Yunnan Loose Leaf Tea
Yunnan tea, also known as Dian hong, represents a fairly high end gourmet black tea that is grown in the Chinese province Yunnan. Compared to the other varieties of black tea grown in China, dry Yunnan tea includes a greater number of bud hairs that are colored golden-orange. In fact, this is one of the main particularities of the Yunnan tea, in what concerns the aspect.
There are 3 varieties of Yunnan tea, as it follows:
1. Broken Yunnan includes a significantly low number of golden tips. This particular variety is best used in tea blends, as alone it has a mostly bitter taste. A visual inspection of the leaves will help you distinguish this variety from the better ones. Broken Yunnan dried leaves are mostly black with just a few golden buds. The infusion obtained from these leaves is reddish brown and the taste is compared to cooked pu-erh tea.
2. Yunnan Gold has more golden tips than Broken Yunnan and more dark tea leaves. The brassy red color and the vivid sweetness are the main characteristics of the brew obtained from this variety of tea.
3. Yunnan Pure Gold consists only of golden buds that have tiny hairs all over their surface. From a distance, the dried leaves seem bright orange. This color turns to reddish brown after brewing. Yunnan Pure Gold is characterized by a bright red color, a subtle flavor and a sweet taste.
As all types of black tea, Yunnan black tea also goes through fermentation. Lychees, rose and longan are mixed with the tea leaves and left to ferment. This combination contributes to the final aroma of the tea brewed from Dian hong leaves. The most qualitative varieties of Yunnan tea create a brassy golden orange tea. The taste is sweet and features a subtle aroma. Sharpness is not one of the features of this tea. On the other hand, less expensive varieties of Dian hong make a brew that is dark brown and very bitter.
Porcelain gaiwan and yixing teaware is particularly recommended for brewing this variety of black tea. The freshly boiled water that is poured on the leaves must have a temperature that ranges between 90 and 100 degrees Celsius. If the tea liquor is bitter and acidic, it means that the leaves have been brewed for too long. This is the case especially when using cheaper varieties of Yunnan tea. One of the main advantages of the Yunnan tea is that they are adequate for multiple infusions.

Chi of Tea - Loose Leaf Tea Information
How do i make just one glass of iced tea using loose leaf tea?
i went to a tea store yesterday, and bought 2 ounces of herbal loose leaf tea. (not in bags)
i was told how to make it hot, but i was wondering, how can i make a cup of cold?
this tea can be made cold...it says on the package...but it doesnt say how to do it.
i've looked online, and i couldnt find much, and the only instructions i could find were for whole pitchers...and i just want one glass.
thanks in advance!
ok but what exactly do i do with the water and everything?
Make strong hot tea, cool it a little, put in ice and you have iced tea.
To make hot tea out of loose tea I would cut a piece of cheesecloth about 4or 5 inches square, put the loose tea in the middle, gather up the edges and tie it into a little sac making sure all the loose edges are closed so none of the loose tea escapes. Then dip the whole bag into some water that has come to a boil. I would not boil it once the tea is in it. Cover and let set for like an hour or till it is cool enough to take the tea sac out and squeeze the tea liquid out.
I cut open the little sac and toss out the tea leaves and rinse out the sac to use again sometime.
