The Yunnan Black Tea "Dian Hong" Loose Leaf Tea Sample is a bold, rich, and highly esteemed Chinese black tea, celebrated for its distinctive flavor and exceptional quality.

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.

Know Where Your Tea Comes From

Origin isn’t just a label — it’s the soul of the tea.

It is the land and the tea trees tended by generations of tea farmers, a living heritage passed down through time in harmony with nature.

Achieving Authenticity Through Tradition

We honor this authentic essence, preserving every genuine step.
We could produce more tea, but we choose to craft better.
