Description:
Da Hong Pao is a famed Wuyi oolong tea. This tea is cultivated in the northern part of Fujian Province, in The Wuyi Mountains. Here, in ravines, among stone cliffs there is special soil and unique microclimate, which make the leaf of this tea robust and strong. The taste of Da Hong Pao is a classic of Chinese dark oolongs. It is saturated, rich and very soft. In its taste you will pick up hints of hazelnuts, dried fruits, apples and spicery, notes of honey and chocolate. Da Hong Pao leaves an amazingly long aftertaste and a lasting and vivid impression.
