About the Tea
This large-leaf tea is my favorite roasted oolong! Da Hong Pao comes from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China and is one of the most famous teas around the world. This highly aromatic, beautifully-crafted oolong has a smooth, sweet body with notes of citrus and honey with an earthy, roasty campfire aroma. Da Hong Pao is one of my favorite teas to bring camping, as it evokes the feeling of being in a deeply wooded area with a campfire going and it’s very resistant to oversteeping, allowing me to worry less about my tea and explore while it steeps! Our Da Hong Pao has a lighter roast level than most, which contributes to its lasting sweet mouthfeel and complex body.
