2025 Zhu Rong Tea

Named after Lady Zhu Rong, the legendary dagger-wielding warrior-queen of Yunnan descended from a fire god, this tea evokes the ancient kingdom of Dian through its toasty-savory spice and sweet, creamy body. Dian Hong represents a relatively new tea introduced in the 80s that has taken China by storm with its full body and depth of flavor from signature downy buds. While Fujian budset black teas tend to be crisp, Yunnan golden bud harvests like this Zhu Rong offer bigger, creamier character.
