Description
The aromatic profile of this Chinese black tea is the result of a powerful oxidation process which is carried out in bamboo baskets for several hours. Dianhong means "Yunnan black tea", while "Shisheng Miao" is a tea plant from this region.
A Grand Cru with notes that bring to mind pastries (praline, cocoa, azuki), blended with powerful woody and spiced fragrances.
