What is Big Gold Needle Dianhong?

Dianhong (滇红) is the traditional name for Yunnan black tea, known for its bold character, smooth body, and sweet aroma. Among Dianhong grades, Big Gold Needle (Da Jin Zhen, 大金针) is one of the most prized, made almost entirely from golden buds and fine tips.

The “Honey Fragrance” refers to its natural aromatic profile, which comes not from additives but from skilled withering, oxidation, and sun-drying of the large Yunnanese tea buds. The result is a bright, full-bodied tea with honey-like sweetness, soft floral notes, and a cocoa-rich finish.

Flavor Profile
