Yunnan × Golden Needle × Black Tea

Dian Hong · 滇红

“Dian / 滇” is traditionally associated with:

Yunnan Province

“Hong / 红” comes from:

Hong Cha / 红茶

the Chinese tea category known as Black Tea in English.

Together:

Dian Hong = Yunnan Black Tea

Jin Zhen · 金针

Jin Zhen means:

Golden Needle

The name refers to the slender, needle-like appearance associated with this tea style.

It does not mean gold or another ingredient has been added.

Together:

Yunnan Black Tea · Golden Needle Style · Warm Amber Cup

Why Fengqing Matters

凤庆 · A More Specific Yunnan Identity

Dian Hong gives this tea its broader identity:

Yunnan Black Tea

Fengqing gives it a more specific regional reference:

Fengqing · Yunnan · China

This helps distinguish the product from a more general Dian Hong Golden Needle.

The progression becomes:

Yunnan → Fengqing → Golden Needle

For customers beginning with Dian Hong, a general Golden Needle can provide the introduction.

For customers ready to explore further, this Fengqing version provides a more specific regional identity together with its stated Te Ji grade.

A Tea Defined by the Leaf

Look Before You Brew

Before adding water, notice the dry tea:

Long

Fine

Golden

Needle-Like

The leaves themselves are one of this product's strongest characteristics.

A white porcelain gaiwan provides a particularly clean visual contrast:

Golden Tea · White Porcelain

Add hot water and the golden leaves begin to soften as the infusion develops toward warm amber.

Look First · Brew Slowly · Taste the Difference

---

Approx. 33 Brewing Portions

Using approximately:

3 g per Everyday Brewing Session

one 100 g tin provides around:

33 Brewing Portions

Because Dian Hong Golden Needle can generally be infused multiple times, those brewing sessions can become many individual cups.

Enough to discover.

Enough to compare.

Enough to begin knowing the tea.

100 g · Approx. 33 Portions · Multiple Infusions

Premium Without Becoming Formal

Te Ji gives this tea its premium positioning.

Fengqing gives it a clearer regional identity.

But premium tea does not need to wait for a formal tea table.

Use a gaiwan when you want to slow down.

Use an infuser mug while working.

Brew a small pot for two.

Return to the same leaves later.

The 100 g format provides enough tea to explore repeatedly rather than judging it from only one or two sessions.
