About This Tea
This super grade of Yunnan golden pekoe is made in the Dian Hong red tea style using the Xiang Gui Yin Hao tea bush cultivar. Dian Hong is a famous type of tea from Yunnan that translates as “Yunnan Red” and alludes to the rich, red soils of Yunnan Province and its special type of red tea (hong cha) that was developed there in the 1950s.

The Xiang Gui Yin Hao cultivar has lots of big frosty bud tips and a stylish appearance. It is sweet and blessed with naturally fruity and floral aromatics. Nowadays, this cultivar is often used for white teas, especially Yunnan Silver Needles-style teas.

This batch of Dian Hong tea offers a rich and malty infusion with notes of rose and raspberry jam.
