Zhong Guo Hong (China Red) Yunnan Black Tea

An extraordinary, deeply oxidized red (black) tea from Yunnan province. Its story began at the renowned Fengqing tea factory, the birthplace of Dian Hong teas in the early 20th century. Decades later, Fengqing’s master tea makers set out to achieve an ambitious vision: to craft a tea that would serve as the ultimate embodiment of Chinese red tea. The result is China Red (Zhong Guo Hong), an exquisite harmony of selected cultivars and refined artisan processing.
