The dry leaves of this first-grade Dianhong tea are tightly twisted with a dark-brown outer layer, but they become an extraordinarily beautiful Red (in Chinese: Hóng) after steeping. It produces a smooth buttery-like liquid surrounded by a golden halo, and the tea leaves remain reddish brown after re-steeped several times.

TEA STORY
Chinese name: Ye Sheng Dian Hong 野生滇红

A high standard was applied to this Chinese red -Dian Hong tea from cultivation to production. It has been nurtured on a sustainable tea plantation of a mountain range (1600-2400m), which provides the ultimate natural and undisturbed environment for the growth of ancient tea trees. Only the leaves that qualified for the ‘1 bud & 2 leaves’ standard were plucked for production. It then goes to the hands of tea specialists to produce the final product. Most of them have over 20 years of tea-making experience. The dry leaves have a dark appearance which is a speciality of tea produced from wild tea trees.
STEEPING
3g | 100ml | 95°C | 5s

We recommend a steeping temperature of 95 °C (205 °F), where you can set the boiling water aside and allow it to cool down for less than a minute. Then take 3 grams of tea with 100ml water to steep for 5 seconds, and increase to 10 seconds after steeping for 3 times. The tea can be re-steeped 5-7 times when using a tea egg, filter bag, or Chinese Gaiwan/Yixing teapot.

You can always adjust the quantity and brewing time based on your preference. When using a larger container like a tea pot, you can take a small quantity and leave it in for a few minutes.

COLD BREW
5g | 750ml | 5 °C | 8 – 12 hrs

Use 5 grams of tea with 750ml of cold water. Place it in the fridge and let it steep for 8-12 hours. After that, strain the tea. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

We recommend preparing it either in the evening before bed or in the morning, so you can enjoy it throughout the day. If you plan to keep the tea in the bottle for a longer time, consider using less tea to prevent it from becoming too strong.
