“While I understand the distinction of this type of tea, it wasn’t a taste I enjoyed too much. My tastes in tea are pretty much iron-clad, and this just wasn’t it.” Read full tasting note
This Yunnan black (Dianhong) tea is a type of Chinese black tea, and is a high end gourmet black tea. When viewed from a distance, the golden tips appear bright orange in colour. The tea liquor is bright red in colour and exhibits a gentle aroma and a sweet taste.
The main difference between Dianhong and other Chinese black teas is the amount of fine leaf buds, or “golden tips,” present in the dried tea.
Extra Info:
Teas grown in the Yunnan Province of China prior to the Han dynasty were typically exported in a compressed form similar to modern pu-erh tea. Dian hong is a relatively new product from Yunnan that began production in the early 20th century. The word “Diān” (滇) is the short name for the Yunnan region while “hâ€â€ÂÂng” (紅) means “red (tea)”; as such, these teas are sometimes simply referred to as Yunnan red or Yunnan black.
