Yunnan Gold (Dian Hong)
Yunnan is one of the best known styles of Chinese black tea, perhaps because it has been chosen as the tea gift for foreign dignitaries since the 1950s.
Enjoy Yunnan now- the regional tea varietal is well suited to producing pu-ehr tea and many gardens are converting to pu-ehr production because of increasing global demand. This style of long golden downy buds, producing a delicious carmel-spice flavor, may not be around much longer.
