Big Red Robe 2021
Harvested May 2021
Big Red Robe or Da Hong Pao is a mid fired Oolong tea from Wu Yi in Fujian. It is sumptuous and smooth with a deep rich flavour.
The long slender, slightly curled leaves produce a cup with top notes of cacoa and lightly toasted bread. These give way to a richly flavoured tea that develops into a sweet, floral, very smooth and slightly malty, fruity tea with a long finish.
