Vintage: 2020 Spring Harvest
Weight: 80 gram (2.8 oz)
Type: Wuyi Rock Oolong - Da Hong Pao

Da Hong Pao is the most popular Wuyi Yan Cha. This Da Hong Pao is a Ban Yan Cha (Semi-Rock Tea), which is a tea made from tea bushes grown outside of the Wuyi National Scenic Area.

Although not as complex as the Jade Buddha Da Hong Pao, this tea is rich and aromatic. It offers a bouquet of dried pineapple, roasted nuts and osmanthus flavors. It leaves a pleasant sweet aftertaste in your mouth long after you have finished the tea. It is truly a delightful tea for a very affordable price.

Legendary tea at an everyday price

By Andy
I finally got to try this famous rock oolong, and I must say I'm really quite happy with it! You can taste the notes of cassia flowers in this pure tea, as well as a hint of minerality I'm guessing is the "rock" part. Got a lot of resteeps out of this one, it's quite an excellent way to treat yourself to a little luxury every now and again. Mahalo nui loa
