Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea – Da Hong Pao
loose leaf | oolong
From: $20.95
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”).
