Wuyi Da Hong Pao

One of the latest reviews here influenced my purchase. Its truly not an everyday tea you drink at work and its very-very good. Hard to explain the flawor, but I think strong would apply.

not a background tea

​when I need a tea that has character, this is where I go. nutty and rich and complex. I only drink it when I can fully enjoy the experience. this isn’t a background tea to drink while working.

If You Long For Oolong, Wrap Yourself Up In This Big Red Robe!

Comfort in a cup! This is my favorite oolong so far. I have been exploring oolongs and there are some wonderful ones but this one never ever disappoints. Wonderful aroma, great mouthfeel, and a delicious taste (even when I get caught up in my work or a book and it’s gone cold on me — and I really dislike iced tea) that is extremely thirst quenching. It’s a bit pricey, as are pretty much all the oolongs, but I don’t drink more than two cups of caffeine in a day and the second steep is delicious in both its frugality and in it’s actual flavor. I steep the first cup for the recommended 4 minutes and find a six minute steep provides an equally delicious second cup from the same leaves. I use a basket steeper and find them more satisfactory than any other infuser I have tried.
