Dian Hong

This Yunnan black tea offers a comforting warmth, unfolding with youthful aromas reminiscent of baked yams. A delightful honey sweetness provides a robust backbone, leading to a soothing and deeply sa. It leans sweet, roasted and warm.

Water around 90–100 °C (195–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Full boil is fine for most blacks. Don't overthink it.

Grown in Yunnan, China. This batch is from the 2022 harvest.

Starts at $1.90 from white2tea, or about $0.27/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.62 per session. Explore more black teas on Teadar.
