Introduction
Dianhong Black Tea, also known as Yunnan black tea, is one of China's most esteemed black teas. Originating from the Fengqing County in Yunnan Province, this tea is made from the large-leaf variety of tea trees native to the region. The leaves of Dianhong Black Tea are tightly twisted and covered with golden tips, which give the tea its distinctive appearance. The tea has a rich, malty flavor with hints of chocolate and a lingering sweet aftertaste. The traditional "Gongfu" processing method, which involves careful hand-picking, withering, rolling, oxidizing, and drying, is used to bring out the tea's unique characteristics.
