Юньнаньский черный чай «Золотые почки»

Today's sampling is Dianhong golden bud from Iteaworld. I was thoroughly impressed with this tea. The leaves were such a beautiful color that I felt compelled to showcase them. This was a bold tea with a robust flavor profile. I tried it plain, with sugar, and with milk and sugar. I really enjoyed it both ways. I have been consistently impressed with this brand thus far, as I have loved everything.

Opening the package my eye is drawn to the large velvety tea leaves. iTeaworld continues to surprise me with their thoughtfully curated teas. I prepared the tea in the Kung Fu manner. Steeping multiple times for short times no more than 15 seconds. The first mouthful has a malty sweetness that full bodies and smooth. I did find that as the tea cooled it looses the sweetness and a earthy flavor emerges. This tea is a fantastic premium tea that deserves a ritualistic celebration.

The dry leaves are visually striking and steep into a rich, brick-red liquor. I opted for a stronger brew with a 4 minute steep, which yielded a cup that opens with a hint of astringency before evolving into a smooth, bold sweetness. It's a well-balanced and invigorating tea—an excellent choice for starting the day.

Today's special tea feature was iTeaworld's Dianhong Golden Bud. The tea leaves are distinguished by their golden tips and produce a beautiful amber gold liquid and sweet, rich fragrance. The flavor is sophisticated: a delicate yet rich black tea with hints of honeyed sweetness and nuanced notes of malt. A truly exceptional tea.

🍃Dianhong Golden Bud Black Tea

Stop.The.Tea.Train friends, I have discovered a new favorite tea. It’s not everyday I find a new “staple” tea but for today’s review I discovered a stop on my tea journey for this iTeaworld Dianhong Golden Bud black tea. It is absolutely amazing. Admittedly I have a Yunnan Golden Buds tea from another company that I keep on hand and is always within a hands reach of my kettle. Let’s just say on my next restock, it will become this tea right here. Hence, this tea is now my new staple tea to add to my tea collection.

These leaves are covered in golden tips and produced a rich golden brew and sweet fresh, smooth, and exceptional tea. If you’re a black tea lover who loves a rich deep unflavored tea that you want to drink and enjoy with no sugar or cream and just really embrace that refined black tea flavor, this is the one I would recommend. Excellent tea day!
