Tasting notes

Dian Hong Golden Snail is grown in Fengqing, Yunnan, from Ying Hong 9 bushes and withered and sun-dried. This is the 2026 spring flush.

In the cup it reads honey and cocoa, with a medium roast and high caffeine. Brew 4g in 150ml of 95°C water for 3 minutes, and the leaf will give three good infusions.

We buy this lot direct from the people who make it and name the village it comes from. Nothing is blended across farms, and nothing is held in a warehouse overseas — the tea is packed at origin and shipped in small batches.

Brewing guide

Black tea takes near-boiling water and a medium-length steep. Gongfu style gives a cleaner cup than a mug; western style, steep three minutes and remove the leaf completely.
