Decaf Dianhong Black

Decaf Dianhong Black Tea is a modern innovation built upon the deep heritage of traditional Dianhong craftsmanship. Harvested at the height of summer from the core tea gardens of Zhenghe, Fujian, the fresh leaves undergo all the classic primary steps of Dianhong production—slow withering, expert rolling, and full fermentation—to release the tea’s internal sweetness and floral-fruity aroma. These foundational processes remain unchanged, preserving the authentic character and rich body that Dianhong is known for.

Where this tea truly evolves is in its advanced decaffeination technology. Instead of relying on high-heat methods that can damage aroma and nutrients, this tea uses a new-generation low-temperature CO₂ supercritical extraction, a physical decaffeination process designed to protect delicate aromatic compounds. This approach accurately removes over 90% of caffeine while retaining the tea’s beneficial elements, including polyphenols, amino acids, and tea polysaccharides—components responsible for sweetness, smoothness, and overall vitality. The result is a decaffeinated tea that preserves more than 99% of the original Dianhong flavor profile.

The aroma of Decaf Dianhong is layered and refined, structured around a core of clean honey sweetness supported by floral and fruity nuances. Notes of peach, lychee, and soft orchid unfold naturally, without the heavy caramelized tones caused by traditional high-heat finishing. This creates a fresher, lighter expression of Dianhong while still maintaining its comforting warmth and depth. Each infusion offers smooth transitions of flavor, showing clarity and complexity without overwhelming the palate.

On the tongue, the liquor is silky, mellow, and naturally sweet. The absence of bitterness allows the honey-like sweetness to spread gently, followed by a clear, long-lasting aftertaste with a lingering floral-fruity brightness. Its extremely low caffeine content makes it ideal for sensitive drinkers, for evening tea sessions, or for those who enjoy multiple cups throughout the day without overstimulation. Unlike traditional Dianhong, which can be bold and energetic, this decaf version provides a softer, more soothing experience while still feeling rich and full-bodied.

Decaf Dianhong is both health-focused and versatile. It maintains the antioxidant qualities of black tea, supports relaxation, and pairs beautifully with milk, honey, or other additions. Balancing flavor, wellness, and craftsmanship, this tea offers a high-quality low-caffeine option for drinkers who want the depth of Dianhong with a gentler touch.
