Our Review

A tea with a history. This tea is located near a monastery located in the Wuyisan area of NW Fujian Province. Like most oolongs in this Wuyisan area, Da Hong Pao is twisted (not rolled into a ball) and it is finished in the traditional manner by charcoal firing. The legend is that tea provided support to an imperial official and he put his red coat on the tea plants that helped him.

Da Hong Pao

Average Review:

Reviewed DHP from 2008 crop. Warm and toasty, with deep walnut notes, very good tea. Not peachy to me. Easily 3 to 4 good steeps. Memorable & IMHO a bargain.

I would hang my big red robe on the bush this came from too.

Average Review:

As a lover of the darker oolongs, Da Hong Paos sweet peachy and toasty notes really spoke to me. The aroma pleasantly reminded me of smoky wood with more peaches in the background. This tea does well with multiple infusions, and I found that it gained more of a dark edge and its peach notes became more of a general sweetness with each steeping. The teas creamy body and warm flavors has made it a favorite of mine on chilly fall evenings.
