Were you curious how that same tea would taste if processed as a dianhong black tea? Well now you can find out. This fabulous Yunnan Dian Hong Cha black tea is made from the same material as the White Tiger cakes. We use the terms \"Dian Hong Cha\" and \"Black Tea\" interchangeably but they mean the same thing. Dian Hong Cha is the term used for black tea made in Yunnan from the trees normally used for puerh tea. Hong means red in Chinese. These teas are called red teas in China but we call them black tea. I know it's very confusing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea is like drinking a cloud. It's so pure and clean and full of flavor. The aroma starts off with a maltiness with a hint of chocolate and hay. The taste is thick and very juicy. This tea is smooth and will brew for many steeps. It is a very pleasant Jingmai sun dried black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high altitude tea gardens in Jingmai are lush and forested in the sprawling jungle that borders Burma. Historically wild tigers roamed free. In the pre-dawn morning the clouds have settled low in the valleys and Jingmai sits above the clouds. As the sun rises the clouds rise with the morning. The entire mountain is misted in the clouds. This \"Black TIger\" cake is the essence of that beautiful start to the day. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe old tree material used in this black tea cake carries the very essence of the sheng puerh tea that it is traditionally made into. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 200g cake of compressed tea.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e It is a single origin offering that is unique and offers an incredible tea experience. It is are from a single garden and remains unblended and processed individually.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewing Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we're brewing this tea we more or less brew it that same as we do for sheng puerh. We like to brew it hot and strong. You can also make this tea into an incredible milk tea. Brew it VERY strong and add evaporated or condensed milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling. Rinse once for a few seconds. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crimson Lotus Tea","offers":[{"title":"1x 200g Cake","offer_id":53201117446460,"sku":"2026_BlackTiger_Cake","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20g Sample","offer_id":53201117479228,"sku":"2026_BlackTiger_Sample","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/0437\/files\/2026-Black-Tiger.png?v=1784097319","url":"https:\/\/crimsonlotustea.com\/products\/2026-jingmai-gushu-black-tiger-yunnan-sun-dried-dian-hong-cha-black-tea-200g-cake","provider":"Crimson Lotus Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
