HISTORY

In 1937 researchers found that Feng Qing has ideal conditions to grow tea and decided to try making red tea with great success.

This tea is then known as Dian Hong due to its bright red liquour and tea leaves. By 1939, the first batch of Dian Hong was delivered to Hong Kong.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

This tea uses only tea bud, hence when highly oxidised, presents a bright golden colour.
