The best way to brew your tea is the way you like - don't let anyone tell you different. Our guidelines are configured for making your tea a cup at a time - maybe with our stainless tea filter. If making by the pot, maintain temperature and time but try with slightly less tea than the math would suggest.

Customer Reviews for Organic Da Hong Pao Oolong
Fantastic warm flavor.
I really like this oolong tea you can really taste and smell the caramel and plums in it. Such a great tea to drink every day. Very nice find :)
I’ve been wanting to try this oolong for several years and finally decided to give it a go. I have to say, it lived up to my expectations. I love it. There’s a slight natural sweetness to it. It’s mild, similar to black tea but smoother. I it’s safe to say I’ve found my new favorite hot tea.
I was lucky to try this tea at a fair and talk with the owner of the company. I've never had anything like it. It's hard to describe... It's malty and roasted, kinda tastes like toasted brown rice. It's not very often you get to try a new kind of tea and talk with a person who has been to where that tea is grown. I learned so much and feel good about getting teas from this company as they can tell you about each plantation and the farmers who grow the teas. So cool!
A very delicious tea :)
Extremely smooth and delicious tea with zero bitterness. Received quickly, with a very kind personal note, and the packaging is beautiful. Highly recommend!
Yummy
Such a complex along. I put in a good amount of leaves and re-brew it multiple times for longer time each. The flavors change. Delicious and high-quality. Large leaves.
This is an outstanding selection. It has refined elements often found in Darjeelings topped with vegetal notes and cotton candy. I have foung the Little Red Cup product to be consistently delicious for at least 3 seasons now.
Organic Da Hong Pao Oolong
This oolong is one of the best teas I've tried. The taste is rich, and evokes malt and earth and rain. It is heavenly!
After reading Mike's "Sunday Steepings - Ides of March Edition" and his description of the Da Hong Pao Oolong, I had to try it. I started with a 2 oz tin, and now I'm ordering the 16 oz pouch. This is my favorite of the teas I have tried. The flavor is unique - to my taste a bit woodsy and musky. Just delightful! I'm hooked.
Really splendid
Im enjoying it as we speak
I served some when my son and daughter-in-law were visiting, and they both complimented the wonderful flavor of the tea.
wonderful tasting, and fresh
Organic Da Hong Pao Oolong
this is possibly one of the best oolong tea i've had in a hot second. Ive been drinking it both hot and iced and those flavor notes keep ripping though. so good, thank you
another great tea
Great Da Hong Pao for the money! I drink a lot of oolong and a lot of Da Hong Pao! For those of you that know some can go for 20-30 dollars an ounce or more. While this isn’t the best Da Hong Pao I’ve had… I got 16 ounces for around 50 bucks! The quality to cost makes this a huge winner for me as an everyday oolong! Tasting notes are spot on in the description. This is one that I will order again and again! Note: I also ordered a pound of the Jade Oolong and feel the same way about it. Great value for a solid every day tea. These are my new go to oolongs for my morning cup!
Love the tea came on time
A deeply rich and inviting oolong tea that is very soothing and full of flavor. I look forward to serving myself this tea every day, I highly recommend it.
Amazing fragrance and taste. No bitterness (don't over brew).
Bought this after having the same type of tea elsewhere - did not disappoint. Lovely company to support as well.
After searching everywhere for years for the highest quality tea I received several samples while visiting a country fair in Maine. This is the best, most flavorful and highest quality tea there is! I took tea classes and learned how to judge it and all of these are outstanding. My fourth year ordering!
Some of the best oolong tea I’ve ever had. Very good quality, highly recommend.
This tea is a delight. It has a silky full texture, rich in round flavors of chestnuts, honey and caramel. Brewed for 4 minutes and it has no bitterness, just that little bit of sweetness to keep you sipping and enjoying. As others have mentioned, the taste lingers and you are happy for it.
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.
Wow I love my tea! It is a hug in a cup! Starts my day off right! You can tell the quality is good. The leaves are big and beautiful! Thank you!
I decided it was time to order tea from an American small business with predictable delivery. ( My prior vendor was a British small business.) I will be ordering more. This tea is excellent. High quality. I can't wait to see how many immersions I can get
Great tea and wonderful service!
Best tea ever! Very high quality. I love how you can still see the oil on the leaves that indicates how great it is. Would recommend!
Why Our Tea Is Organic
Tea is among the most heavily treated crops in conventional agriculture. When you steep tea leaves in hot water, you’re making an extraction—and that extraction doesn’t discriminate between flavor compounds and pesticide residues. Every tea we sell meets certified organic standards. Our teas are certified organic by the USDA and MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association), a leading independent organic certifier. This means no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and annual third-party inspections to verify it. We source from worker-owned cooperatives in rural, mountainous regions of China, where traditional growing methods align naturally with organic standards. These aren’t industrial plantations; they’re small farms where people have been growing tea the same way for generations. Healthier soil produces better tea. Plants grown without synthetic chemical inputs develop more complex flavor profiles. You can taste the difference.
