Customer Reviews
This tea is rich and complex. The old trees can be tasted immediately adding a new dimension to the flavor. In the end, one gets a fusion of what's best about hong cha with the additional layer of pu'er intricacy.
Dear R., thanks for your kind words, we appreciate it so much. This is a tea we also love, that went even beyond our expectation: it was so welcomed, and harvest after harvest is confirming its quality and complexity. We love your definition as 'an additional layer of pu'er intricacy', and we will often think about it!
Together with my order I received an free gift: some grams of "Dian Hong Red Tea Wild Forest" from Nannuo-Shan: what a deep, smooth and profund Dian Hong! I have seldomly drank such a wise and deep forest tea. It went for lots and lots of further brewings and gave sensations of dried frut, humid forest, warm wood without any astringency. I loved it and will certrainly order more of this "friendly and wise old man"!

Dear Christopher,
Thank you for your generous review, we're glad you enjoyed our Wild Forest Dianhong, and we hope it may accompany your brewing sessions for many years, evolving its hues of flavor as time goes by. It is always a very interesting comparison with Lincang Dianhong, as both teas express hues of underforest in very different ways. We're looking forward to your next tea choice!
Had many Dian hong before and this one is by far the most layerd tasting from the upfront taste to the aftertaste, this tea is unique and elegant in taste.
The upfrant taste has a very light tabacco taste to it one can find in some Ceylon teas but the the tea transforms: directly after consuming teh tea the taste goes into roasted wallnuts and the aftertaste is a deep acacia honey that ligers long after drinking.
One of the best dian hongs i ever had, the aftertaste alone makes it stand out above all others!
Dear Jochum, thank you so much for your review! This tea keeps surprising us year after year, besides being bought season after season by many of its lovers.
Bandong is beyond the north-western mountain: they are far away valleys we can almost see from our corner of Yunnan, and we are happy to pass by from time to time, comforting ourselves with this fruity honeyed flavours.
