Appearance & Taste:
The Da Hong Pao tea leaf is long, tight and slim. It is dark in colour with a dark green edge. The tea soup is amber-coloured, clear and bright. The taste is sweet and mellow, with a long-lasting floral aroma, without bitterness. This premium Da Hong Pao also has very special ‘rocky’ flavour due to rich mineral substance inside. The taste is elegant, delicate and mellow with a hint of light honey aroma.
Brewing Guide
Infuse 3 teaspoons Premium Wuyi Big Red Robe for 125ml teacup/gaiwan, 6 teaspoons for 250ml glass, or 12 teaspoons for 500ml teapot. If using a Gaiwan Gongfu style, infuse this Premium Wuyi Big Red Robe in hot water (100℃) for around 15 seconds for the first brew, extending the infusion time for the following brew. If not using a Gaiwan Gongfu style, steep for 1–2 minutes.
Evie O. –
This premium one has the perfect amount of taste and intensity. It’s not so strong that I will feel nauseated on an empty stomach but it definitely isn’t weak. Tastes good, perfectly portioned, tested, brewed a long time without killing the vital goodness.
