Black Tea from China
The most famous black teas from China, including Dian Hong, Keemun, Lapsang Souchong and Yingde Hongcha.
Dian Hong Black Tea
Dian Hong (滇紅茶) black tea from Yunnan is widely renowned for its full-bodied, rich, slightly malty flavour. Our range includes high-quality organic Dian Hong sourced directly from a leading tea farm located 1500m above sea level in Pu Erh, Yunnan.
Keemun Black Tea
Keemun 祁門紅茶 is one of China’s most popular teas, known for its distinctive flavour profile featuring a tart sweetness, fruity plum notes, and a subtle hint of pine. We offer a Master Keemun crafted in the Gong Fu style, the highest level of traditional artisanal tea-making, sourced directly from its original terroir in Anhui. We also have an excellent everyday organic Keemun, sourced directly from a small farm in the Huangshan mountains.
Lapsang Souchong Black Tea
An especially high-quality expression of the renowned “smoked tea”. Unlike many commercially available Lapsang Souchong teas, it is not overly smoked, instead offering a purely natural, delicate smoky note owed to its traditional method of production. The tea is made from a locally endemic cultivar that grows wild in the region.
Yingde Hongcha Black Tea
Yingde Hongcha from Yingde Town in Guangdong Province is today regarded as one of China’s most prestigious black teas. It is famous for its elegant leaf appearance, its vibrant ruby-red infusion, and an aroma rich with notes of cacao and honey. Particularly prized is tea made from the Yingdehong No. 9 cultivar, which is used exclusively and in its entirety for our tea.
