Dian Hong
Traditional concept of standard Yunnan Black Tea processing generally used by tea factories.
Light to medium oxidation , rolling and then heat processing for the final fixation
in order to promote the sweet taste and preserve fruity notes same time.
Dian Hong means Yunnan Red ,it comes on market in many grades and forms.
Traditional grade of one type and two leaves is being mistakenly superceded by tipsy golden in color grades due to their more attractive look.
Dark Oxidized
Dark oxidized black tea usually comes with medium to dark roast called " ti xiang " or " gao xiang "
which means - elevated aroma. The high temperature roast at the end of the processing
helps to promote the sweetness with chocolate notes
with touch of roasted nuts ( reflecting actual roast ) .
This concept is commonly used by Fujian black tea producers but it is also implemented in
Yunnan Black tea production , as it's also applied to less oxidised tea leaf.
Sun Dried
Sun dried black tea , known as Shai Hong , is simply processed with light oxidation ,
rolling and dying on the sun ( directly or in the drying glass house ) .
The initial flavour spectrum is rather sour , due to not complete fixation
( not like it's common for dark roasted black tea ) whcih in time is transforming
into the jam fruity sweet notes. Therefore shaihong tea is recommended
for further ageing and it is also sold in pressed form.
This type of processing is commonly used by tea farmers who do not possess
special equipment for making the fully fixed ( heat processed ) black tea.
In modern tea business this concept is also being overtaken by bigger producers who use the gentle heat to imitate the sun drying environment.
Wild Varietal
Red ( black ) tea made from wild varietal tea trees
either growing naturally unattended in the forest or
being grown by tea farmers on remote locations
in suitable environment for such a trees.
Red Oolong
Red Oolong , also known as Hong Shui - Red Water , is medium to dark oxidized tea
with following oolong tea processing called " yao qing " - tossing the leaves on big bamboo trays
before shaping and doing final heat processing for the fixation.
The tea is commonly shaped in small snail like shape in order to preserve the taste
and aroma for long time , which is also guaranteed by sealing it in air tight or vaccum packs.
