↑About Da Hong Pao
This tea is sometimes classified as a black tea (in Chinese, called red tea), but is usually classified as an oolong. Regardless of how it is classified, the leaf and brewed tea are both dark in color, and the tea has many characteristics in common with other Wuyi oolongs.

Da Hong Pao Tea from Tea King of China (Starway)
Style: Da Hong Pao – Region: Fujian, ChinaJul. 16th, 2018
The tea that I got is packaged in individual packets, each containing six grams (about three US tea bags worth) of relatively large, but broken pieces of tea leaf.

This tea was good, but it just didn't wow me the way I would need a tea in this price range to do in order to want to buy it.
The dry leaf smells exquisite, multifaceted, and hard to describe. Although the color is dark, the smell resembles green teas in some ways. Softly toasty and bready, hinting at floral and s...
Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea Fujian from TeaVivre
Style: Da Hong Pao – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, ChinaFeb. 12th, 2018
A truly great tea!
I brew this with one teaspoon of tea per cup(about 1.5 grams I think) And I get 3 steepings. The aroma is nice but indescribable, and the taste is almost the same way. It has nutty notes and is very... "minerally". A pretty good value at $17 per 100g but definitely not cheap either.
Out of all the teas on this planet, oolong, in all its varieties, is my favorite. I received this particular type as part of the monthly deal from this company in a loose leaf form.
This oolong had a nice earthy smell that was slightly stronger compared to other oolongs I have had. Its flavor was smooth all the way ...
