- Dian Hong Jin Luo, or Dianhong Golden Snail, is a type of Chinese black tea, specifically a Yunnan black tea, known for its unique shape, resembling small golden coils or snails, and its rich, malty flavor profile.
- These furry curled leaves remind me of golden caterpillars, so happy in their simplicity, joyfully unaware of what their destiny is to be. We all know the story of the caterpillar, but what about the tea leaf. The destiny of tea relies on you and relies on me. Take time with these delicate leaves and golden buds, do not steep to hot, although you’ll catch the robust cacao note you would miss the gentle kiss of Turkish apricot.
- Dianhong Golden Snail is processed from hand plucked one leaf and one bud leaves of the Yunnan Large Leaf cultivar that is also used to make the numerous pu-erhs of the region. The leaves are hand rolled during the production process into small coils or snails and you can see plenty of these golden coils in the finished product.
- The Dianhong Golden Snail dry leaves are shaped into small coils, or snails, and have plenty of bright gold and black colours. When brewed, these coils will unfurl, revealing the one bud and one leaf structure. The umber liquor produces a medium strength liquor with a somewhat savoury light scent reminiscent of rye bread and soy. The flavour of this Dian Hong Jin Luo Golden Snail black tea is sweet and malty, very much like a freshly baked sweet bread, with notes of cocoa and molasses.
- This tea's aroma is equally captivating, with hints of honey and a subtle spiciness that tickles the senses. A perfect black tea to have without milk as it’s very smooth and does not have any astringency. Of course, it can always be brewed stronger by steeping the leaves for 5+ minutes to make a particularly strong tea that could take a dash of milk if you are so inclined.
