Hi, SN!
Jumping in here... I'm new to the Chat and noticed this thread.
I love a really good golden Yunnan tea as well. The one I have used to measure all Yunnan Gold teas by has been the one from Tao of Tea called Emporers Gold from several years ago. I don't know where they got it but the owner shops for most if not all his teas from the source, hence they have really good teas most of the time.

However this tea has varied over the years. I found it hard to find a year or two ago. Now they offer an organic version which I'm not sure is the same quality or source. But it might be worth a try for you. I notice they don't have bulk but they have tins of it still in stock.
