Yunnan Golden Silk Black Tea Premium 2026 - Dian Hong 500g

Yunnan Golden Silk (Dian Hong) is a premium black tea made almost entirely from golden buds, prized for its luxurious appearance and rich, honeyed character. This 2026 harvest offers a generous 500g of fine, silky golden tips — perfect for daily enjoyment and sharing.

The liquor pours a brilliant amber-gold, full-bodied and smooth, with indulgent notes of honey, malt, cocoa, and dried longan. Naturally sweet with a velvety mouthfeel and no bitterness, it is an exceptionally satisfying black tea — wonderful on its own and robust enough to stand up to milk. A true taste of Yunnan's finest red tea tradition.
