The production process involves plucking, withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying. Fermentation is the critical step, where temperature and humidity are meticulously controlled to oxidize the polyphenols in the tea leaves. This process creates the signature red tea liquor and the distinctive, aromatic profile unique to black tea.

Compared to Zhengshan Xiaozhong (Lapsang Souchong) and Keemun black tea, Yunnan black tea embodies a wild and untamed character, offering a striking contrast to its tightly rolled and refined dry leaf appearance.

Our Yunnan Black Tea, "Dian Hong" Loose Leaf Tea, is meticulously crafted from first-flush buds of ancient tea trees. Its abundant golden tips showcase its premium quality. At the same time, the tea delivers a rich aroma with honeyed sweetness and floral-fruity undertones. The taste is smooth, sweet, and mellow, leaving a lasting impression with every sip.

Versatile and delightful, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with milk, sugar, or lemon to create naturally flavored beverages, such as milk tea or lemon black tea.
