Tea Story

Fengqing 凤庆 Dianhong is a renowned black tea from Yunnan, China. Known as "Dianhong,” it is valued for its rich, malty flavor and bright copper color. With a history dating back to the early 20th century, it is considered one of the world's finest black teas.

This tea undergoes a full oxidation process, which is what gives black tea its characteristic color and flavor.This tea boasts a bold, full-bodied taste with hints of malt, chocolate, and sometimes a subtle floral note. The liquor is deep and rich, offering a satisfying and comforting experience. The tea leaves are adorned with golden tips, which contribute to the tea's sweetness and complexity. When brewed, Dianhong produces a beautiful, bright copper-colored infusion that is both visually appealing and indicative of its high quality.

Dianhong is rich in antioxidants, which have been linked to various health benefits, including improved heart health, boosted immune function, and reduced inflammation.
