What Is Golden Spiral Dianhong?
Dianhong (滇红) is the legendary Yunnan black tea, known for its golden buds, smooth taste, and robust aroma. The Golden Spiral (also known as Jin Luo or Golden Snail) style refers to the careful hand-rolling of tea buds into tight, curled spirals that resemble tiny golden shells.
This shape isn’t just beautiful, it enhances the tea’s ability to release flavour slowly and evenly, offering multiple steeps with consistent sweetness and body.
With no leaves, stems, or coarse material, this tea delivers a pure bud experience, with a soft, velvety mouthfeel and notes of cocoa, raw honey, and stone fruit.
