Appearance & Taste
The tea soup is red and bright, the aroma is fresh and rich and the taste is strong, smooth and sweet. It tastes very warm and mellow combined with a hit of honey with sweet floral flavor. It also has very creamy, smooth and buttery mouthfeel. The tea is a very fragrant experience. It is always can be consumed with milk. After drinking, you will immediately feel the warmth in your stomach.
Brewing Guide
When using a Gaiwan (about 125ml) Gongfu style, infuse 3.5 teaspoons Dian Hong with hot water (90-95℃) for around 8-15 seconds for the first brew, extending the infusion time by 3-5 seconds for the following brews. If not using a Gaiwan Gongfu style, steep the tea for around 1-2 minutes. Do not use boiling water because it will destroy the vitamin C and other beneficial contents of the leaves. It will also accelerate the precipitation of phenolic substances such as caffeine and tea polyphenols, which will make the tea taste sour and bitter.

A beautiful looking tea with a taste to match. Sweet but not watery, with plenty of body. I’ll be ordering more.

This tea had just the right amount of sweetness for me – not too much. A very pleasant tea to drink mid-morning or early evening.

This is an excellent tea. The second and third brews are just as good as the first. Yunnan Golden Tips is my preferred tea for all occasions.

I can absolutely see why the tribes have kept up the tradition of drinking this tea for over years. If I was to live this long, I think I’d keep it up too. It’s a real health encouraging tea, with a rich flavour.
