YiWu became famous for its PuErh but in my eyes it is equally important because of quality dianhong. This tea is great example of it, made purely from young buds it is incredibly rich and satisfying. 

Very smooth, thick and sweet liquor comes with nice, rounded and sweet aroma of dark honey, oats, toasted grains, touch of florals and fresh, sweet fruitiness. That translates nicely into taste, with more pronounced fruitiness and very rich experience from very first infusion. Word of caution, due to nature of tea it can be very powerful when pushed, so please brew gently, especially few infusions after first one. 

Tea comes pressed into biscuit form, each weight varies between 7 and 8 grams, with average around 7g.
