Description
Spring First Flush Da Wu Ye Dancong Oolong (Big Dark Leaf)
Oolong Tea
Du Wu Ye, translating literally to “big dark leaf”, is a cultivar of the Phoenix oolong tea family with leaves that are usually very large and dark in color, which gives it its name. Du Wu Ye is famous for its natural orchid fragrance; this particular type can be harvested in all the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
When brewing, the first impression of this tea is its natural floral fragrance, gentle and soft, that then turns to sweeter and heavier undertones. It has a soft and smooth taste with a long-lasting light floral aroma, and lingering high orchid fragrance. This tea can be steeped multiple times, and doing so will bring the leaves out to their full size; the edges of the leaves are reddish brown in color, lovely to see. After drinking this tea, it leaves a sweet taste in your throat that remains for long after.
