DianHong usually refers to all black teas produced in Yunnan Province. “Dian” is the abbreviated name for Yunnan, and “Hong” means black tea. The main difference among different Dianhong teas is the number of golden tips they possess.
Yunnan Province is one of the most important tea producing regions in China. Located in Southwest China, Yunnan borders Vietnam, Laos, and Burma. Thanks to the abundant rainfall, mild climate, and fertile land, Yunnan is an ideal area for tea cultivation. Tea exportation from Yunnan began over 200 years ago.
