"Dian Hong" literally means "Yunnan Red" in China, what we call black tea is actually called red tea, named after the colour of the brew rather than the leaf.

Yunnan black tea (Dian Hong)

Dian Hong (滇红)is a Yunnan black tea from Xigui in southwest China, made from leaves picked off trees around 80 years old. "Dian Hong" literally means "Yunnan Red" — in China, what we call black tea is actually called red tea, named after the colour of the brew rather than the leaf.

This tea is sweet, smooth, and naturally malty, with gentle notes of wood and honey. There's no astringency or bitterness — it's one of the most forgiving black teas we carry. Even if you steep it a bit longer than intended, it stays gentle. Customers who switch from English Breakfast or other blended black teas often notice the difference straight away: no need for milk or sugar to make it comfortable to drink.

The leaves are pesticide-free and hand-picked from mature arbour trees, which tend to produce tea with more body and natural sweetness than younger plantation bushes. Our 2025 spring harvest has that same clean sweetness as previous years, with a bit more body.

Brewing guide

Western style: Use 2g per 250ml with 90°C water. Steep 3 minutes. Good for 2 infusions.

Gongfu style: Use 4g per 120ml gaiwan or teapot. Pre-warm the vessel. Brew with 90°C water, 20 seconds for the first infusion. You can get up to 10 infusions — the sweetness really builds through the middle steeps. If you have a gaiwan, this is a good tea to use it with.

About Yunnan black tea

Yunnan province is home to some of the oldest tea trees in the world. Dian Hong uses leaves from these mature trees, which produce teas with more body and natural sweetness than younger plantation tea. It's been a staple in Chinese tea culture for decades, though it's still relatively unknown in Australia compared to Indian or Sri Lankan black teas. Browse our full black tea collection for more options, or see our morning tea picks — all our black teas work well as a morning cup.

Joanne's tip

One of our Tea Bar regulars described it as "nice for a chat" — and that's exactly right. It's the kind of easy, comforting tea you can sit with for a while without thinking too much about timing or temperature. If you're curious about how Yunnan black teas differ from each other, grab a sample of this ($8) alongside our Golden Tips ($8) and compare them — Dian Hong gives you malt and body, Golden Tips gives you florals and sweetness.

best toys ever!
I seriously can’t recommend these dog toys enough! My puppy is usually super picky and gets bored easily, but she was OBSESSED with these right away. The moment I gave them to her, she wouldn’t put them down—running around, chewing, tossing them in the air, everything. It kept her entertained for hours, which is a lifesaver. They’re also really durable (which surprised me because she can be a little destroyer 😅), and they seem safe and well-made. I love that they help with her teething too—she goes for these instead of my shoes now, which is a huge win. If you have a puppy with lots of energy or who needs something to stay busy, these are 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be buying more!

A must to keep on hand for your furry friend.
My dog absolutely loves these Pink Puppy collection of toys, they keep her safely busy for hours. They seem chew resistant and durable. She loves the pink ball and the sound of the material inside the Elephant. Great buy, I give her two every holiday.

Excellent Value
I love these toys! I bought them for a litter of German Shepherd puppies for their first toys. They instantly swarmed the elephant and cuddled with it. It is their favorite toy to this day. I bought another set so they had another one. They play with everything except the ropes, since they unraveled them early on I threw them out. They have cuddled with them and played with them for almost 3 months. I wash the teething toys in the sink with dial soap, and the plush toys on regular cycle in the machine, multiple times per day since I bought them. They look brand new each time. Only the little hearts and stars split open, but that was my adult dogs' fault. I didn't realize she was reaching into their playpen and taking their toys. Our Rottweiler and bulldog just love the teething toys, which cracks me up. Basically, all the dogs like this kit, but they are pretty good about not destroying toys, at least not right away. They figured out I take them away when they do, so they do their best. I doubt they will hold up to any dog deliberately trying to tear them up (like any toy), so supervision is recommended.
