Yunnan Black (Dianhong)
Description
Yunnan Black (Dianhong) – Golden, Mellow & Morning Perfect
Yunnan black tea — or Dianhong — comes to us from the misty highlands of Yunnan province in China, the birthplace of tea. It’s beloved in China as a breakfast brew, offering gentle strength and a soft, rounded sweetness. This tea delivers lovely golden liquor, subtle maltiness, and a silky finish — easy to sip and rich in character.
What Is It?
A whole-leaf black tea from Yunnan, traditionally known as Dianhong. High-grade versions contain golden-orange leaf buds that bring natural sweetness and elegant depth. Some expressions allow a dash of milk — rare for Chinese teas, but it's welcomed here.
Why You’ll Love It
• Breakfast favourite — hearty yet gentle enough for early starts
• Naturally sweet — malt, honey and cocoa richness
• Balanced — more flavourful than Darjeeling, mellower than Assam
• Milk-friendly — rare for Chinese reds, yet wonderfully suited to a milky cup
💡 Top Tip
If you like mild sweet spice, pair it with a fruity crumble or buttery toast. Or brew it a little stronger for a bold midday boost with a drop of milk.
