Dian Hong
Fengqing
China · Yunnan · Fengqing / Lincang
Quick summary: This tea gathers warmth without becoming heavy. The cup carries cocoa, malt and orange peel, and holds together in a calm, generous way.
Best for: A warm companion for rain, reading, and the part of the day that asks for comfort.
Dian Hong brings the warmth of the first cold morning of the year. In the cup there are cocoa, malt, and orange peel, and the body feels warm and malty. It enters easily, but the longer you stay with it, the more depth gathers in honey, wood, grain, or fruit. This is a tea that can comfort on an ordinary morning and still reward a slower session when you have time to listen. Its strength is not blunt force, but warmth with character.
