A famous chinese tea. Long dark twisted leaves present a robust aroma and a richly fragrant reddish gold infusion. Due to its high firing, the tea tastes smokey at first but quickly rounds out to a rich smooth mellow finish.

Use 1-2 tsp per teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the leaves. Quickly pour off the water and let the leaves breathe for a moment or two. Refill again with boiled water and infuse for 3-5 minutes. Can be infused a number of times.oolong tea

Known as Da Hong Pao, this revered tea from Fujian’s Wuyi Mountains delivers dark, twisted leaves that steep into a smooth, reddish-gold liquor. A smoky aroma gives way to a mellow, layered infusion with notes of fruit, caramel, and roasted depth—an exceptional experience in every cup.
