This tea is made from Yunnan large-leaf tea trees. The thick leaves and rich inner compounds of this variety give Dianhong its characteristic sweet, smooth, and full-bodied flavour. Made from early spring buds, the dry leaves are long and twisted with visible golden tips. The dry tea shows a mix of golden and dark tones with a warm, subtle sheen.
The dry leaves are tightly twisted with visible buds and abundant golden tips, showing a mix of golden and dark colours. After brewing, the leaves fully open and the leaf base is soft and reddish-brown.
The tea liquor is bright amber-red and clear. The aroma is rich and warm, led by honey notes with a noticeable cocoa aroma, similar to mild dark chocolate, with a hint of soft floral fragrance. The taste is smooth, full-bodied, and naturally sweet. As the tea opens, cocoa-like warmth and honey sweetness combine, creating a round flavour with a long, pleasant finish.

Premium Yunnan Dianhong comes from high mountain tea regions in Yunnan, China. The mountainous terrain, high forest coverage, warm humid climate, and frequent mist provide ideal growing conditions. Ample rainfall and strong day-night temperature differences allow the tea trees to grow slowly and develop rich compounds. The Yunnan large-leaf tea variety produces thick leaves and strong buds, forming the rich flavour and aroma of Dianhong.
Origin: Yunnan
Premium Yunnan Dianhong is made mainly from spring buds. The leaves are carefully hand-picked to keep them intact. Production includes withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. Careful control of oxidation gives the tea its golden tips and smooth, sweet character.

The cocoa notes are unmistakable, like drinking liquid dark chocolate mixed with wildflower honey. Full bodied without being heavy. The golden tips really do make a difference to the complexity. I’ve had cheaper Dianhong before and this is noticeably more refined and smooth on the palate.

The cocoa notes in this are surprisingly pronounced, almost like a mild dark chocolate bar. Smooth body, no bitterness whatsoever. Perfect morning tea that doesn’t need milk or sugar.

Cocoa notes! Didn’t expect that but it’s lovely.

That cocoa note is unreal. Smooth as silk, naturally sweet, zero astringency. Been drinking black teas for years and this might be top three.
