Were you curious how that same tea would taste if processed as a dianhong black tea? Well now you can find out. This fabulous Yunnan Dian Hong Cha black tea is made from the same material as the White Tiger cakes. We use the terms \"Dian Hong Cha\" and \"Black Tea\" interchangeably but they mean the same thing. Dian Hong Cha is the term used for black tea made in Yunnan from the trees normally used for puerh tea. Hong means red in Chinese. These teas are called red teas in China but we call them black tea. I know it's very confusing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea is like drinking a cloud. It's so pure and clean and full of flavor. The aroma starts off with a maltiness with a hint of chocolate and hay. The taste is thick and very juicy. This tea is smooth and will brew for many steeps. It is a very pleasant Jingmai sun dried black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high altitude tea gardens in Jingmai are lush and forested in the sprawling jungle that borders Burma. Historically wild tigers roamed free. In the pre-dawn morning the clouds have settled low in the valleys and Jingmai sits above the clouds. As the sun rises the clouds rise with the morning.
