Da Hong Pao

OOLONG TEA

Tasting Notes:
lily • marmalade • toast

According to legend, leaves from the original tree from which this cultivar comes, brought the Emperor back from an extreme illness - to show his gratitude for the tree, he requested a big red robe (“da hong pao” in Chinese) be hung on its branches, a very high honor. Since the times of the legend, this rock oolong is considered a rare treasure, with a complex fruity and floral liquor that tastes of lilies, orange marmalade, and whole grain toast.

Infusion: For an 8 oz serving, steep 2 heaping teaspoons of leaf in 195°F water for 1-3 minutes. Enjoy!
