The leaves of this Dian Hong 滇红 are big furry buds of a tea leaf. Dian Hong refers to black tea or Hongcha grown in Yunnan. This batch is grown at 1380m on 凤凰山 Feng Huang Mountain in Puer City. The tea farmer-maker Mr Yang explained that this tea is made from single plump furry buds 大白毫, which are prized not just because they are more tedious to harvest, but also results in a delicate brew that does not become tannic easily. This is not the sort of tea that one who needs a strong and flavoursome tea should look for. It is a smooth, uncomplicated and clean brew, with a delicate caramel sweetness and nose! No milk and sugar needed to enjoy the flavours!
