Famous Wuyi Rock Oolong (Wu Long) Tea - Da Hong Pao Loose Leaf Tea -4.5 Oz
The original bushes, growing on a rock on Mount Wuyi, still survive today and are highly venerated, which fetched a record high bid of over $1 million USD for 2.2 lbs in 1998. The Da Hong Pao on the market now are the plant grow from the cut of the original plants to product similar grades of tea from original plants. Taste variations produced by processing, differences in the soil, and location of these later generation plants.
Reader Reviews
This is a strongly flavored, astringent oolong tea. It is reasonably priced (that is priced as a beverage) and the same tea being sold at several times the cost by various vendors pushing it for its weight loss properties. It produces a cloudy, medium brown brew with strong, slightly rough flavor. Oolongs from this particular location are reputed to aid in losing weight. I prefer smoother oolongs with a lighter, clearer brew, but this is a matter of taste. This is a good, solid but not inspiring tea.
