Dianhong Classic 58 Black Tea - The Queen of England's Favorite Chinese Black Tea
Product Introduction
This tea is produced in Fengqing, Yunnan, China — the hometown of Dianhong tea. The region features a mid-subtropical monsoon climate, with tea gardens located at approximately 2,200 meters above sea level. The tea gardens benefit from excellent ecological conditions.
Classic 58 refers to Dianhong black tea. In 1958, Dianhong tea was recognized as a gift tea for Chinese foreign affairs. In 1986, Yunnan Dianhong black tea was presented as a state gift to Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Kunming, China. Since then, Dianhong has gained full recognition in the international market. To commemorate this moment, it was officially named Classic 58.
Taste Profile
Classic 58 offers a distinctive malt aroma complemented by natural honey notes. The tea liquor is clean and clear, with a smooth, elegant mouthfeel. The overall taste is well-balanced and not overly strong — approachable for both new and experienced tea drinkers.
