Emperor Yunnan Dianhong
The Emperor Yunnan Dianhong is simply the mellowest, sweetest and best looking of the Dianhong's that we carry. It is obvious that we have a thing for certain Chinese black teas. This Dianhong is a perfect example why! The leaves are all golden brown and the infusion is a dark amber-red that both soothes the body and stirs the senses. Many people seem to find this tea a revelation for them in tea drinking, as it exemplifies what a black tea can taste like, and without the need for adding a single thing! Yixing Pot Incorporating both beauty and elegance, Yixing clayware is renowned for being the ideal vessel for Chinese tea steeping. mouse over icons to see instructions Instructions: For gongfu-style tea tasting, fill the vessel with one and a half teaspoons of tea leaves (usually about 7g for a regular-size Gaiwan) and pour on the hot water for a quick washing. Discard the water and gently pour on the hot water again and let steep for 10-20 seconds. Decant and serve! Increase the steeping time gradually with each additional infusion.
