Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea – Da Hong Pao

loose leaf | oolong

From: $18.98

Da Hong Pao is known as the “King of Tea” and is one of four famous bush varietals. The plucking season begins after Guyu in mid-April, when shoots of three or four open leaves are picked by hand.

Our Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) has dark, strong, twisted dry leaves that possess a complex, fruity, and toasty flavor. When brewed, the liquor is clear and bright orange. 

This oolong tea tastes clean and mellow with a rich aroma of orchid and a note of nectarine. The sweet aftertaste is long-lasting with no off-aromas. It is famous for its essence of rocks (“Yan Yun,” or “cliff rhyme”).

    Mineral and stone jump from these brittle brown-black leaves, cooked nectarine and toastiness flowing from the subsequent liquor. My favorite aspect of this warming tea is the present rock rhyme in the flavor and texture.
