Tea history
Teas grown in the Yunnan Province of China prior to the Han dynasty were typically exported to Europe and the United States, Middle East, Japan, in a compressed form similar to modern pu-erh tea. Dian hong is a relatively new product from Yunnan that began production in the early 20th century. The word "Dian" is the short name for the Yunnan region while "hong" means "red (tea)"; as such, these teas are sometimes simply referred as Yunnan red or Yunnan black. However, such references are often confusing due to the other varieties of teas produced in Yunnan as well as the ambiguous nature of the color classifications.
