Dian Hong Black Tea, otherwise known as Yunnan Gold, is the highest grade black tea found in Yunnan Province. Grown in southwestern Yunnan Province, in the well renowned Feng Qing region, this variety of tea is comprised entirely of young, slender golden buds, making for a entirely unique flavor distinct from other Gong Fu black teas such as Qimen. This tea yields a deep orange brew with a rich bodied malty flavor, and a sweet, smooth aftertaste. Yunnan Gold is no doubt a jewel yet to be discovered by many Western tea drinkers. A great tea!
