Da Hong Pao
As highly particular oolong lovers, our Da Hong Pao plays an important role in our tea selection. It is regarded by some as a chief indicator of our tea selection quality. Some would say that this is simply because Da Hong Pao is too famous, but we think otherwise. It is a fantastic and rich tea with a depth of flavor that is hard to match. Good Da Hong Pao should be easy for newcomers to appreciate, whereas many other wuyi teas can often require a certain high level of appreciation to enjoy. If a darker an more complex floral aroma is what you are after, this Da Hong Pao is an ideal place to start. Yixing Pot Incorporating both beauty and elegance, Yixing clayware is renowned for being the ideal vessel for Chinese tea steeping. mouse over icons to see instructions Instructions: For gongfu-style tea tasting, fill the vessel with tea leaves up to just under half-way (usually about 8g for a regular-size Gaiwan) and pour on the hot water for a quick washing. Discard the water and gently pour on the hot water again and let steep for 5-10 seconds. Decant and serve! Increase the steeping time gradually with each additional infusion.
