Grade: A++ | Origin: Fengqing, Yunnan, China
Crafted in the renowned tea region of Fengqing, Yunnan, this A++ grade Dian Hong represents exceptional artisan tea processing. Each piece is individually hand-shaped into a compact tower, averaging 3.5 g (3–4 g per piece). Visually striking, the tightly rolled leaves are generously covered with fine golden buds, signaling a rich, full-bodied infusion.
