A strong black tea made using the traditional Dian Hong technology. High-quality material (one bud and two or three leaves) harvested from 300-500 year old trees growing in the wild forest. The tea is 100% organic, which is proven by PGS Organic Certificate.

This tea has a prominent invigorating effect. It’s flavor is smooth and balanced, with dominant notes of fruit, caramel, and chocolate. A delicate, noble bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. Fans of Yunnan Dian Hong teas will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of our specimen.

Great Dian Hong. Similar Gu Shu red teas from China costs 3-4 dollars per gram.

Quality Dian Hong, no bitterness even if over brewing time, honey, caramel tones in the flavor, long pleasant aftertaste, tea liked.

I've started with 90 seconds, 4 grams / 100 ml water. The first few infusions where delicate and aromatic: I got complex fruity notes (grapes, mango, melon, cherry) and some fleeting floral notes (maybe lilac).
After that, I pushed it to 100 degrees C, resulting a much richer, creamier brew, more tannins, more viscous, and flavor towards a fruit jam. Needs careful brewing, I didn't get it right the first time.

Very interesting taste of tea. With each sip, different notes are revealed - gentle, pleasant, not tart. Sometimes there was a spicy note.

I recently had the pleasure of trying this Dian Hong, and it was a delightful experience. This tea offers a gentle, nuanced flavor profile that is perfect for those who appreciate a more subtle and refined tea. The taste is notably soft, which makes it very approachable and easy to drink at any time of the day. One of the standout features of this tea is its woody notes, which provide a grounding and earthy undertone that complements its smoothness.
