The mist clings to ancient terraces, and the tea trees—some of them centuries old—begin pushing out buds dusted with gold. This is where our Dianhong Golden Snail begins: not in a factory, but in that fragile window of early spring when the leaves are tender and fragrant with possibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDian 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. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDianhong 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. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteep a cup, and you’ll see the liquor turn a warm, luminous amber. The aroma is where it first reveals itself: deep honey, sun‑warmed stone fruit, a whisper of malt in the background. What you won’t find is the astringent edge that haunts many black teas. This Yunnan Black Tea Dian Hong Jin Luo is naturally low in tannins—velvety on the palate, with a finish that lingers softly, sweetly, without any bitterness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor those who know Dianhong Red Tea, this is the expression that collectors wait for: a first‑flush golden snail, handled with restraint, where the tea’s own character is allowed to speak. For anyone new to fine Chinese black teas, it’s often the one that resets expectations—proof that “black tea” can be nuanced, gentle, and deeply satisfying without milk or sugar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParticularities in brewing Dianhong Golden Snail.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not suitable to use boiling water for brewing tea. The water temperature should be controlled at 80~83 degrees Celsius.\u003cbr\u003eThe tea soup should be poured out quickly. The first brewing time is 1 second for the first to third brews. From the fourth brewing time, the pouring time is gradually extended to 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and 8 seconds. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MoriMa Tea","offers":[{"title":"Sample 10g","offer_id":31354031046729,"sku":"BT-DHGN-2","price":5.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":31354031079497,"sku":"BT-DHGN-2","price":22.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":31354031112265,"sku":"BT-DHGN-2","price":39.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g","offer_id":31354031145033,"sku":"BT-DHGN-2","price":72.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2323\/3605\/files\/2026_Mingqian_Spring_Tea_Dianhong_Golden_Snail.jpg?v=1774164047","url":"https:\/\/www.morimatea.com\/it\/products\/dianhong-golden-snail","provider":"Authentic Chinese tea | Born for You, Burn for MMT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
