The tea liquor is bright red in color and exhibits a gentle honey aroma and offers a sweet, smooth taste. When viewed from a distance, the golden tips appear bright orange in color. This Yunnan black (Dianhong) tea is a type of Chinese black tea, and is a high end gourmet black tea. The main difference between Dianhong and other Chinese black teas is the amount of fine leaf buds, or "golden tips," present in the dried tea.
Teas grown in the Yunnan Province of China prior to the Han dynasty were typically exported in a compressed form similar to modern pu-erh tea. Dian hong is a relatively new product from Yunnan that began production in the early 20th century. The word "Diān" (滇) is the short name for the Yunnan region while "h—ng" (紅) means "red (tea)"; as such, these teas are sometimes simply referred to as Yunnan red or Yunnan black.
