Dian Hong is a red tea from the Yunnan province in China, famous for its golden appearance and rich chocolaty flavour. This tea is made from the big leaf cultivar .
This very fine Dian Hong is made of young tea buds, which are covered in fine hairs, the dried tea appears bright orange in colour. This is because of the rich antioxidants and low level of chlorophyll in the young tea buds. The tea soup is bright red with a strong aroma, a sweet taste and dark chocolate notes. The flavour reminds of chocolate dipped fruit, sweet bean paste and caramel, which is well balanced with the malty flavour of a red tea and lingering aftertaste reminiscent of liquorice.
