Why can Fengqing Dianhong achieve such uniqueness? The answer lies in its birthplace.
Fengqing is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Black Tea," located between 24°13′ and 25°03′ north latitude, a range recognized by tea scholars as the golden tea-producing latitude.
World-famous high-quality black teas, such as Chinese Keemun and Indian Darjeeling, are all produced in this region.

But Fengqing's most remarkable feature is its unique combination of low latitude and high altitude—its tea plantations are mostly nestled on mountain slopes between 1,000 and 2,200 meters, creating an unparalleled three-dimensional climate.
During the day, sunlight pours down on the tea plants without reservation, maximizing photosynthesis as the leaves strive to accumulate aromatic compounds;
At night, the high altitude brings a sharp temperature drop, allowing tea plants to quietly accumulate nutrients, achieving a delicate balance between tea polyphenols and amino acids. Tea polyphenols contribute to the "strong and intense" flavor of Dian Hong, while amino acids provide the "fresh and brisk" notes. When combined, these elements create Fengqing Dian Hong's naturally sweet, smooth, and non-astringent foundation.

With an average annual temperature of 16.5°C, abundant precipitation of 1,300 millimeters, and fertile slightly acidic red soil, the tea grown in this land carries an innate charm that surpasses ordinary tea from the outset. No need for elaborate embellishments or complex processing—simply steep it, and you’ll have a springtime brew with a sweet aroma and naturally delightful flavor.
