Dian Hong

This full-bodied black tea unfurls with rich notes of dried fruits and the deep warmth of barrel-aged rum. A lingering sweetness harmonizes with a subtle smokiness, all complemented by a profound and . It leans fruity, woody and sweet.

Water around 90–100 °C (195–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Full boil is fine for most blacks. Don't overthink it.
