Description

This Da Hong Pao (literally Big Red Robe, 大红袍) oolong cake is made of more fermented and medium roasted material from spring 2005, pressed into cake shape this March. It’s nice both inside and outside, no broken material. More roasted oolong teas would be great after some years and can be stored for a long time.

The tea have nice roasted cacao flavor, smooth and sweet in mouth with long aftertaste.
