Flavour
First Grade Dian Hong Jin Luo is crafted from early spring buds, hand-rolled into tight spiral shapes—hence the name “Golden Snail.” The dry leaf shows a golden sheen and emits a deep, sweet aroma.
The liquor is bright amber with a clean, smooth texture. The flavor profile opens with clear caramel sweetness and malty depth, followed by light floral notes and a hint of citrus peel. Subtle spiced undertones and a lingering, sweet aftertaste add complexity without heaviness.
Well-suited for customers looking for a structured yet refreshing black tea with both richness and clarity. Performs reliably in gongfu brewing and Western-style infusion.
