Direct from the Origin
Dianhong tea is sourced directly from the high-altitude regions of southern Yunnan, an area celebrated for its exceptional tea-growing conditions. The fertile soil, high elevation, and subtropical climate of this region contribute to the robust growth of tea trees. The abundant rainfall and misty mornings create an ideal environment for producing high-quality tea leaves. The combination of these natural factors imparts a distinctive flavor and vibrant color to Dianhong tea.
