Description
2006 Spring Premium Wuyi Dahongpao - Unsmoked (Silk Robe)
Oolong Tea
Wuyi is legendary. It gives life to the tea. This extremely light, beautiful, almost Dancong-like Dahongpo is full of the mineral notes that define Wuyi. It only undergoes light roasting and preserving the most natural taste of Dahongpo. We call it "Silk Robe" as it offers the greatest smoothness and at the same time giving the honey sweetness that we never forget.
It is thick and packed with unique vegetal undertones and florals. It has gorgeous giant light-colored leaves and a bright crisp brew. As the tea steeped out, we got more violet florals and a deep Wuyi-style mineral texture. This premium Wuyi Dahongpao is It is process without smoking, stressing out the natural flavor of the leaves. This results in pleasant richness in floral note mixing with mineral extrated frm the ancient soil in Wuyi area.
