Dian Hong

$7.00

[dee-en hong]          Yunnan Red

This aromatic black tea from the southwestern province of Yunnan, Dian Hong features fine, evenly-rolled mahogany-colored leaves with an abundance of orange-gold tips. Crimson infusions bow with a layered fragrance and subtly tart and spicy flavors, malty and faintly reminiscent of citrus. Its strong character and lively flavor make it a good tea for starting a busy day or having an interesting conversation. Bold and brassy.

Dian Hong is sold for $7.00 / oz.
