Organic Da Hong Pao Oolong

Rich, deep flavor that leads to a mellow response. Forget coffee's caffeine frenzy! And a taste that doesn't linger or sour your mouth (and breath) for hours. This is essential tea.

This is the first time we are trying this oolong, and it is wonderful! Smells like cocoa powder and tastes like woodsmoke and deep forests in the rain! Highly recommend!

The very first time I opened it there was a piece of plastic thread mixed in with the leaves. This could be possibly from the rip cord when opening it. The dried leaves just smelled very grassy. The first steep had a lot of tannins and minerality giving it an astringent mouth feel. The tea was also a little bit oily like an Earl Grey. The tea had light smoky flavor and good body. On the second steep the sugary fruity aromatic notes come out. Unfortunately, they are only olfactory notes and not imparted to the taste. The second steep was very smooth and astringency decreases but no robust tea flavor. The leaves after the second steep held on to the aromatic notes very well. The third steep tasted like water lightly flavored with tea. Most good oolong teas can withstand at least seven steeps. There is no production date on the packaging so I can only speculate on why my experience differ so greatly from other reviewers. The tea does seems to be better when steeped with a gaiwan instead of a infuser.

Lovely warm flavor. Full bodied but not bitter or agressive.

Refined and composed, not sharp or overbearing. Delicate and distinct taste. A gentleman among the crowd. Confident.
My personal favorite from all the 12 Little Red Cup teas I have tried -- and that's saying something!

This tea is very flavorful. I enjoy it hot or cold. It will be my daily tea of choice. Don’t forget to do a second steeping. :)-

I have missed these types of tea since I closed my shop years ago. Thank you gor presenting them to me again.

Asked for a sample, then ordered a tin, now a pound. Yes, I really like this tea and I've been drinking it every morning. Should help me get through the winter.

A Great Oolong tea, smooth and great tasting no matter how short or long you steep it!

I love this tea! I was prompted to purchase Da Hong Pao Oolong after reading customer reviews. I was not disappointed! This is a great tea which I would recommend to any tea lover!
