From the birthplace of the first tea, Yunnan Black tea has a distinctive and earthy flavour, and a smokiness that is inherent of the traditions of tea cultivation and unique history of tea production in China.

Known as "Dian Hong" in China, Yunnan is a black tea originating from the Yunnan Province. This tea is known for its rich, bold flavour profile with sweet, malty undertones, and subtle floral notes. Made primarily from the large-leaf team, it often features striking golden tips, which lend a distinctive sweetness and smooth, velvety texture. 

This fine premium tea is what makes our No.1 Yunnan Black kombucha.

All our teas are the finest, premium teas ethically-sourced.

This product is 50g of Yunnan Black loose leaf tea.

We can deliver to places of work if you request it at the time of order.

If you would like your delivery left in a safe place, please ensure you complete the delivery instructions box at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Yunnan Black Tea and where does it come from?

Yunnan Black Tea—also known as Dian Hong—originates from the Yunnan Province in southwest China, the cradle of ancient tea cultivation. It’s a Chinese loose leaf tea prized for its rich, earthy flavour and beautiful golden tips. Our version uses premium, large-leaf varieties traditionally harvested to preserve both character and history in every cup.

What does Yunnan loose leaf tea taste like?

Expect a deep, bold flavour with malty sweetness, hints of floral undertones, and a signature earthy smokiness. It’s complex yet smooth, often compared to a dark chocolate with a touch of dried fruit. Some customers describe it as the perfect balance between intensity and elegance—ideal for mindful sipping or a strong morning brew.

How do I brew Yunnan Black tea for the best taste?

Use 1–2 teaspoons of tea per cup. Pour water at 90–95°C and steep for 2–3 minutes. Because this Yunnan loose leaf tea has whole leaves and golden tips, it can be resteeped 2–3 times, revealing slightly different notes with each infusion.

Is this the same tea used in your Yunnan Black Kombucha?

Yes—this is the same Yunnan tea that forms the base of our No.1 Yunnan Black Kombucha, one of our most complex and bold fermented drinks. If you’ve enjoyed our kombucha, you’ll recognise the depth and smoothness in the tea that makes it so unique.

Is your Yunnan tea certified organic or ethically sourced?

While it’s not certified organic, our tea is ethically sourced from independent growers in Yunnan who use traditional methods with minimal intervention. We prioritise quality and sustainability over mass production.

How is Yunnan Black different from other black teas?

Unlike English Breakfast or Assam, Yunnan Black has less astringency and more depth. The golden tips (young buds of the tea plant) create a smoother, more mellow cup. It’s an excellent choice for those exploring Chinese loose leaf tea or transitioning from strong breakfast blends.

Can I buy Yunnan tea online in the UK?

Absolutely. You can buy Yunnan loose leaf tea online directly from us with fast and secure UK delivery. Your tea is shipped fresh and ethically packaged—ideal for tea lovers and kombucha fans alike.

What’s the shelf life and how should I store it?

Store your Yunnan tea in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. It will retain its flavour and aroma for up to 12–18 months. Just keep it away from moisture and strong odours.

Is Yunnan Black tea high in caffeine?

Yunnan tea has a moderate caffeine level, offering a smooth energy lift without jitters. It’s often chosen by those who want an elegant alternative to coffee with a richer, more grounding taste.
