This is the classic recipe of light fermentation black tea that has been produced by the Feng Qing tea factory for decades.  It is hand-processed at each stage and isn't rolled by machines so the leaf shape is well preserved and un-broken. The brewed liquor is a golden orange that is incredibly smooth and can be infused more than any black tea I have ever tasted.  Both a beautiful tea and a tasty tea. 

Production period: Late-April Harvested
Area: Feng Qing County of Lincang (Yunnan)

Lovely

"Dian Hong was the first tea I every drank gongfu style. My friend who showed it to me was astonished when I later procured some for myself for a good price from Yunnan Sourcing. Im not very experienced with tea but I always try to have Imperial Dian Hong on hand to show friends as their first foray into gongfu tea. My recent bag is excellent as is the smoky pu er sampler"

Nice, mellow tea!

"I find this one to be close to the 2017 Feng Quing tea that used to be on Yunnan Sourcing. It's not exactly the same. It does produce a lot of foam, so I rinse thoroughly, steeping a couple times. This tea is mellow and malty. Just a hint of sweetness, and not bitter. I really like to chill this in the summer as well, so I ordered extra this time. Delicious!"

An Old Trusted Favorite

"This tea is special to me as it was thee tea that sparked my interest and led me west from Fujian to a fascination and love for Yunnan tea and eventually to Puerh. To me, Imperial Feng Qing Dian Hong is the king of malty black teas. It's what Assam aspires to be. It's chocolatey, malty, strong, 'leathery', mildly earthy, burnt sugar / toast character and moderately sweet. It's not nearly as sweet as other Yunnan black teas like Simao pure bud (hipsters!!). It has a remarkable delayed echo aftertaste of chocolate that materializes on the tongue several seconds after swallowing. The cha qi is warming leading to sweaty and seems to pack nearly as much caffeine as coffee without the jitters. Early in my tea journey I didn't realize tea had such an effect and figured I just sweat sometimes in the mornings haha. My first experience of floaty 'tea drunk' was after drinking this tea gong fu immediately followed by the Liming Golden Peacock raw puerh. I picked up a large quantity of the Spring 2019 harvest and aged it for nearly two years sealed up as I prefer the deeper flavor of well rested Yunnan black tea. But I've been jonesing for some since drinking through my 2018 FQ from another vendor. The flavor of the 2019 is definitely there, but it seems a bit youthful and could benefit from further aging, but it will get there. This tea has been a pretty consistent staple morning tea for me for many years and is very satisfying after a bowl of oatmeal. I usually drink it grandpa style as it works really well that way, but when I have the time - gong fu in a gaiwan."
