Xiang Gui Yin Hao Black Tea
Made from a cultivar typically associated with Silver Needles, this rich, malty red tea reveals notes of raspberry jam and warming spice.
This premium grade of Yunnan Golden Pekoe is made in the Dian Hong red tea style using the Xiang Gui Yin Hao tea bush cultivar. Dian Hong is a famous type of tea from Yunnan that translates to “Yunnan Red,” alluding to the rich red soils of Yunnan Province and the distinctive style of red tea (hong cha) developed there in the 1950s.
The Xiang Gui Yin Hao cultivar is known for its abundance of large, frosty bud tips and elegant appearance. It produces a cup that is savory and sweet, with naturally fruity and spicy aromatics.
Today, this cultivar is often used to produce white teas, particularly Yunnan Silver Needle-style teas. This spring harvest of Dian Hong showcases its versatility, offering a rich, dense cup with notes of raspberry jam and warming spice.
