This exceptional Fengqing Dianhong is a premium Yunnan large-leaf black tea. It features a bold, deeply satisfying profile with high caffeine and high theanine, balanced by low catechin bitterness. This energizing and sophisticated brew is perfect for tea connoisseurs, organic lifestyle enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a deeply relaxing yet focused tea experience.

The dry leaves exude a high, expressive aroma that builds into a layered and elegant bouquet of floral, fruity, and woody notes, carrying a distinct mountain charm. On the palate, the tea is thick, smooth, and richly complex, offering a naturally sweet taste and a deeply salivating finish. With proper aging, it gracefully develops captivating notes of licorice, honey, and a distinct, refreshing coolness.

Meticulously handpicked in the spring as tender one bud and two leaves, this tea represents centuries of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. A dedicated processing factory was strategically built right at the extreme cultivation altitude to ensure the fresh leaves are processed immediately after harvest, preserving their optimal quality. Every step follows stringent national organic standards to respect the natural cycle of the plants and honor the ancient tea-making heritage of the region.

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add boiling water, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing.

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:25. Brew with water at 100°C (212°F). For the first two infusions, steep for about 5 seconds each. Gradually increase the steeping time with each additional infusion. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.
