A deservedly famous and sought after Chinese Oolong tea. The name translates to Big Red Robe. This oolong is only produced in the Wuyi mountain area of Fujian province China. This oolong is best prepared Gong Fu style. You will experience intense flavors, a hint of dried fruits, and a long finish. As you enjoy multiple infusions, notice how the taste lingers on your tongue.
Ingredients: Oolong tea
Time/Temp:
This has become my go-to tea at work. It helps to ease my headaches. I have a single cup kettle, and the perfect filtered water. I have learned to let the water cool just a bit before adding to the leaves. I only steep a few minutes and reuse the leaves a few times. Too much time and it's a more bitter taste. Well brewed, the sweetness is perfect to hold on my tongue. Warm and comforting.
I enjoy the stronger tasting, more oxidized oolong teas, and this is the best yet that I've sampled from Tea Smith.
