Learn how to brew Yunnan Black Tea (Dian Hong) Loose Leaf — a malty and smooth Chinese black tea from the highlands of Yunnan province.

Characteristics

  • Developed from traditional Yunnan green tea processing techniques, preserving its regional authenticity.
  • Crafted using ancient tree first-flush buds, featuring abundant golden tips that signify its high quality.
  • The production process involves plucking, withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying, all following traditional methods.
  • Fermentation is precisely controlled for temperature and humidity, resulting in the tea's signature red liquor and distinctive aroma.
  • Unlike Zhengshan Xiaozhong (Lapsang Souchong) and Keemun black tea, Dian Hong stands out for its wild and untamed character, which contrasts with the refined appearance of its dry leaves.

Flavor

  • A rich and inviting aroma with notes of honey, complemented by floral and fruity undertones.
  • Smooth, sweet, and mellow on the palate, delivering a balanced and satisfying taste.
  • Highly versatile, pairs well with milk, sugar, or lemon to create beverages such as milk tea or lemon black tea.
