A 2010 Yunnan aged black tea, matured through 8 years of aerobic storage followed by 2 years of anaerobic storage, produced in Huocaoshan, Zhenkang County, Lincang, Yunnan, near the border with Myanmar. This tea comes from the same producer and origin as the previously popular 8-year-aged tea, with all raw materials sourced from naturally cultivated tea trees over a century old at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Due to the slow growth of natural cultivation, the yield is less than a quarter of that of ordinary tea gardens, and the tea leaves are exceptionally rich in polyphenols and minerals, with a long-lasting aftertaste where sweetness slowly spreads deep in the throat. After anaerobic maturation, the aroma becomes more intense, combining the character of black tea with the smooth, refreshing charm of ripe Pu'er. This article will detail its aroma and taste characteristics, brewing suggestions, and a price reference for authentic 10-year-aged Dianhong black tea in 500-gram quantities, suitable for readers who enjoy aged teas.
