DIAN HONG-Black tea

Dian Hong Black Tea, hailing from Yunnan Province, is known for its golden buds and luxurious, bold profile. The dry leaves smell like honey and roasted nuts, while the infusion brings out comforting notes of bread crust, cocoa, and dried fruit. Smooth, sweet, and full-bodied, with a sugarcane-like lingering finish and a hint of astringency if steeped too long.

The tea is crafted from ancient tea trees, hand-harvested and processed through withering, rolling, fermentation, and careful roasting. The terroir—high elevation, red volcanic soil, misty mornings—gives it a rich mouthfeel and "mineral sweetness" rarely found in other black teas.
