Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea Bio

Da Hong Pao, a legendary oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, is a real gem for tea lovers. This tea grows on the rocky soils of the mountains, which accounts for its deep, complex flavor with rich notes of toasted (cedar) wood, caramel and minerals.

According to ancient tradition, the first infusion is not drunk, but is given as an offering to Buddha. The second infusion is characterized by a harmonious combination of nutty flavors, fruity aromas, subtle nutmeg notes and a smooth, toasty finish. With its copper-colored infusion and full, long-lasting flavor, Da Hong Pao is one of the most refined and exclusive oolongs – a real treasure for those looking for something unique.

Da Hong Pao is a roasted oolong, this means in that it is 80% oxidized. So it tends to be black tea rather than green tea.
