Dian Hong Jin Zhen (Golden Needle)

Yunnan large-leaf (Feng Qing Da Ye)

Crafted exclusively from plump spring buds sheathed in fine golden hairs, Dian Hong Jin Zhen is the highest grade of Yunnan black tea. Each bud from the Feng Qing large-leaf varietal is hand-selected, withered, rolled, and fully oxidized to about 92 percent, forming slender golden needles. The all-bud composition gives an exceptionally smooth, sweet cup with honey, dried longan, and cocoa notes, no astringency, and a velvety body backed by a caffeine near 36 milligrams. Grown between 1,500 and 2,200 meters and picked from March to April, its clear golden liquor closes on sweet potato and caramel. The density of golden tips marks the labor behind each hand-plucked lot.

विवरण

Dian Hong Jin Zhen is the highest grade of Yunnan black tea, crafted exclusively from plump spring buds covered in fine golden hairs. Each bud is carefully hand-selected, withered, rolled, and fully oxidized to produce slender, needle-like shapes gleaming with gold. The all-bud composition delivers an exceptionally smooth, sweet infusion with intense honey, dried longan, and cocoa notes, zero astringency, and a velvety mouthfeel. The golden liquor is remarkably clear with a lasting sweet potato and caramel finish.

अनुशंसित बर्तन: Porcelain gaiwan — Dian Hong Jin Zhen's elegant golden needles and sweet honey-floral aroma are best appreciated in white porcelain that shows off the striking leaf and allows multiple rapid gongfu.

As a pure-bud tea, Golden Needle requires gentler handling than other black teas. 85°C water and 90-second steeps preserve the honey-sweet, zero-astringency character. Gongfu style with a gaiwan is ideal. The golden buds produce a remarkably clear, luminous golden liquor across 5 infusions.
