Yunnan Black Tea (Dian Hong) is steeped in the profound tea-making heritage of Yunnan. Celebrated as one of China's boldest and most robust loose-leaf black teas, it is highly prized for its rich, malty flavor and storied past.

Offering a pure and authentic taste of Chinese tea culture, this tea brings you closer to the centuries-old tradition that has shaped Yunnan’s unique tea identity.

Meticulous Crafting Process

Its production involves five meticulous steps:

• Plucking
• Withering
• Rolling
• Oxidizing
• Drying

Oxidation is the heart of the process. During this stage, temperature and humidity are carefully controlled to transform the leaf's polyphenols.

This process develops the tea's signature ruby-red liquor and deep, inviting aroma—the very essence of a true Yunnan Black Tea.

A Wild Contrast to Other Black Teas

While Zhengshan Xiaozhong (Lapsang Souchong) is known for its smoky notes and Keemun black tea for its elegant "Keemun fragrance,"

Yunnan Dian Hong unveils a wilder, more untamed character. Its bold spirit offers a striking contrast to the more refined, tightly rolled leaves of these famed counterparts.
