Yunnan Fengqing Golden Snail Dian Hong 2025
This is a classic “golden snail” from Fengqing — a red tea that shows itself immediately through texture and aroma. The infusion is dense and smooth, with clear honey sweetness and warm notes of nuts, dried fruits, and light cocoa. It drinks easily, without sharp astringency. Holds well across multiple infusions, opening evenly without drop-offs. This is a style of red tea that works both for beginners and for those with more experience.
The tea is produced in Fengqing (Yunnan) — a key region for Dian Hong. The material is early spring, with a focus on tender buds (golden bud), visible in the high amount of golden tips. The shape is a rolled “snail,” which provides even extraction and a stable brew. Processing is traditional, without over-roasting or heavy intervention — the profile remains clean, soft, and well-balanced.
