Our Dian Hong Jin Hao comes from South Yunnan organic tea garden located at the altitude around 1,650 m which is well managed ecological subsystem. The tea garden Wa Kan Shan 瓦坎山 is planted with seed growing Qun Ti Zhong tea cultivar, which is a traditional local cultivar. The tea tree behaves good resistance to disease and pest. Tea brewed from our Yunnan Black Tea has a reddish brown color. The aroma is strong sugary and floral with a slight roasted undertone. The taste is smooth and sweet and the aftertaste is refreshing and clean.

During third century BC, the central area of Yunnan, around present day Kunming, was known as Dian’. The name Dian Hong means Yunnan Black tea. Often Yunnan black teas are referred to as Dian Hong teas. Yunnan black teas vary in their flavor and appearance. Some grades have more golden buds and a very sweet and gentle aroma without astringency. Others make a darker, brown brew that is bright, uplifting and slightly sharp. You may add milk to this tea (a longer steeping time is needed to acquire enough astringency to balance the milk).
