Xiang Gui Yin Hao Black Tea

This super golden pekoe grade is made in the Dian Hong red tea style using the Xiang Gui Yin Hao cultivar. 

Dian Hong is a famous type of tea from Yunnan that translates as Yunnan Red and alludes to the rich, red soils of Yunnan Province and its special type of red tea (hong cha) that was developed there in the 1950s. 

The Xiang Gui Yin Hao cultivar has lots of tippy, frosted buds and is savory, sweet and blessed with naturally fruity and spicy aromatics. 

This cultivar is often used for white teas, especially Silver Needles style teas. For a study in how different processing methods applied to the same cultivar can create various tastes, compare this Xiang Gui Yin Hao black tea to our Xiang Gui Yin Hao White Crescent tea offering from the early spring. The premium grade of black tea offers rich and dense mellow flavor that characterizes classic Dian Hong premium tea.
