Details Introduction
Basic Information
● Origin: Primarily produced in over 20 counties across six prefectures along the Lancang River in Yunnan, including Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, and Honghe.
● Legend of Origin: According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, a farmer successfully cultivated a high-quality tea with a rich floral aroma and sweet taste, which gradually gained popularity. By the late Qing Dynasty, it had entered the international market.
Production Process
● Raw Material Selection: Uses tender buds and leaves (one bud with one leaf or one bud with two leaves) from the Lincang large-leaf variety, which are plump, robust, and nutrient-rich.
● Withering: Allows the tea leaves to lose some moisture, making them softer for subsequent processing.
● Rolling: Manual rolling breaks the cell walls of the leaves, accelerating the oxidation of polyphenols and shaping the tea into its unique form.
● Hand Tying: The rolled leaves are carefully tied into a pagoda shape to preserve their integrity and aroma.
● Fermentation and Drying: After fermentation and drying, the tea develops a rich fragrance and a mellow, robust taste, forming the distinctive Dian Hong Pagoda.
Quality Characteristics
● Appearance: Tightly knotted strips, robust buds and leaves, pagoda-shaped, golden and lustrous with prominent golden tips.
● Liquor Color: Brews into a bright, reddish liquor with striking golden hues.
● Aroma: Fresh and lively, with a strong floral and honey fragrance that is long-lasting.
● Taste: Rich and intense, with a stimulating yet smooth and delicate profile, accompanied by a lingering sweet aftertaste.
● Spent Leaves: Evenly red and bright when unfurled, resembling a flower in the cup.
Health Benefits
● Wellness: The fermentation and drying process reduces polyphenol content, making it gentler on the stomach. It promotes diuresis, detoxification, metabolism, and boosts immunity.
Other Benefits: Also aids in anti-aging, digestion, radiation resistance, skin beautification, and detoxification.
