This super grade of Yunnan golden pekoe is made in the Dian Hong red tea style using the Xiang Gui Yin Hao tea bush cultivar. Dian Hong is a famous type of tea from Yunnan that translates as Yunnan Red and alludes to the rich, red soils of Yunnan Province and its special type of red tea (hong cha) that was developed there in the 1950s. The Xiang Gui Yin Hao cultivar has lots of big and frosted bud tips and a stylish appearance. It is savory, sweet and blessed with naturally fruity and spicy aromatics. Nowadays, this cultivar is often used for white teas, especially silver needles style teas. This spring batch of red tea offers a rich and dense flavor that characterizes the classic way of Dian Hong premium tea.
