Key Features
- The Advantage of Large-Leaf Varietals
Made from Yunnan’s native large-leaf tea trees, the leaves are rich in compounds that, after full fermentation, yield a characteristically robust body, intense aroma, and bright red liquor.
- Precise Craft for Consistent Quality
Processed through the traditional steps of withering, rolling, full oxidation, and drying, the oxidation phase is carefully controlled to develop the tea's signature color and flavor profile consistently, batch after batch.
- The Terroir of Yunnan Highlands
Grown in the high-altitude, misty regions of Yunnan like Lincang and Fengqing, the tea plants develop a distinctive sweet and fruity character, a direct expression of the local climate and mineral-rich soil.
Origin & Growing Environment
Our Dianhong is sourced from core Yunnan black tea regions, including Lincang and Fengqing. The high-altitude environment provides abundant diffused light and significant temperature variation. The tea gardens are maintained using natural methods without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Cultivation & Craftsmanship
- We employ natural cultivation methods and hand-pick leaves at optimal maturity.
- The craft focuses on complete oxidation. After withering and rolling, the leaves are fully oxidized to develop their deep color, rich aroma, and sweet, malty flavors, before being dried to lock in these qualities.
Three Ways to Enjoy
- Hot Brew (Classic & Straight)
Ideal for a robust cup. Use 1 sachet per 300ml (10 oz) of water at 195-205°F (90-96°C). Steep for 2-3 minutes to enjoy its full-bodied sweetness.
- As a Blending Base (Classic Pairings)
Dianhong's robust character makes it perfect for blends:
- Dianhong Milk Tea: Add warm milk (a 1:4 ratio) to hot-brewed tea. A touch of honey enhances the natural sweetness.
- Spiced Black Tea: Brew with a cinnamon stick.
- Citrus Black Tea: Add a slice of lemon to hot or cold brew.
- Cold Brew (Smooth & Sweet)
For a remarkably smooth and sweet iced tea. Use 1 sachet with 500ml (17 oz) of cold water. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours. This method yields a very mellow, less tannic drink.
