Enjoy the highest grade of Yunnan Gold tea (a.k.a Dian Hong). This Chinese black tea is from the Yunnan province, which together with Fujian, are the most reputable Chinese regions for black tea. The delicate buds of this tippy tea are handpicked from ancient tea trees and fully manually processed based on traditional methods. This careful processing results in a wonderfully consistent looking tea with a golden appearance.

If you find Lapsang Souchong too sweet or the Keemun black teas too intense, then go for our soft, savory Yunnan Gold with delicate honey and caramel aroma. It brews a wonderful yellow-orange and bright cup of tea that will light up your day. Our Yunnan Gold almost consists of pure golden buds and is the highest grade you can get at a yet affordable price.

Dian Hong Tea History

Though Yunnan is the birthplace of tea with thousands of years of history in pu erh tea production, the very first black tea from this region dates back less than 100 years ago. Black wasn’t produced until 1939 when the first Dian Hong tea was successfully processed in Fengqing county.
