"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.

Finally
Color: 301 Black
I bought a different coffee warmer for myself, maybe 4 years ago. I live in an area that has very cold winters, and I could never enjoy even one cup of coffee in the morning without it turning quite cold halfway thru. So I bought this other warmer. It improved my situation, but only slightly. At its hottest setting, my coffee was, at best, tepid warm within 15 minutes. I finally got fed up with it and purchased this model, noting that it's warmest setting was reported to several degrees higher than my earlier one. I'm delighted to report, it works! It definitely keeps my coffee noticeably warmer, right to the end of the cup. It falls short of being "piping hot", but I'm not sure that would even be desirable. Call it "comfortably hot". I'm very glad I tried this model.

Consistently Warm Cup Every Time
Color: Black, Color: Black
I resisted getting an electronic coffee warmer, because I hadn't had one in years. I am so glad that I changed my mind. I am no longer having to microwave my coffee again and again as it gets cold. I love that this coffee warmer has multiple temperature options. I love that I can adjust the number of hours (1-12) until I would like it to automatically shut off. It heats up quickly, so you needn't plan ahead. When you want it, it is fully functional on the spot. Since it has a heating function, my policy is to unplug it when not in use. I wouldn't give this as a gift, not because it isn't awesome, but because owning it requires a personal commitment to using it responsibly. And you must have a suitable cup. My cup, as you see here, is a celodon cup. It heats perfectly well even though the base has a shallow rim rather than a flat bottom, which makes direct contact with the heating table. If you have a similar cup, be assured that will be just fine and your coffee or other liquid will stay warm. Its versatile functionality and beautiful design make this an excellent value for the money. To me, there's nothing like a good cup of coffee in the morning and this warmer makes all the difference as it is uniformally a perfect cup, even if I get interrupted.

Nice size and works well
Color: Black
I got this to replace a rather inexpensive mug warmer that had quit working just a few months after purchase. This one is nice, you can adjust the temp, adjust how long it stays on, and it has an easy to read display so you know them temp and auto shut-off time. Its versatile as it fits a variety of mugs/cups and it works really well.

Best mug warmer I’ve ever had!
Color: Black
This does what I had hoped my other two mug warmers would do. Actually keep my coffee hot. I also love that I can set the timer so that I don’t accidentally leave it on. Additionally, my other two warmers were activated by setting the cup down on the warmer, which meant that if somebody sat something else beside a coffee cup on it, it burned it. And that did happen. This one is only hot when you turn it on. I can also change the temperature settings and choose how long I want it to be on up to 12 hours. I definitely will buy this again for another room in the house.
