A lovely aged Da Hong Pao from Wu Yi Mountains in Fujian.  This has been lightly roasted three times over the course of more than a decade and then stored in a good clean condition.  The result is a complex tea with powerful cha qi.

The early brews have a strong vanilla and roasted currant aroma.  The taste has some roast, some vanilla and mineral rock sweetness.  In the later infusions the roasted taste fades more and the fruit, mineral sweetness and velvety smoothness takes center stage.  The tea goes 10+ infusions and remains complex and interesting.

This tea was harvested in 2006!

We also offer a 2008 Aged Da Hong Pao here!

Looking forward to this.

"I'd been looking forward to this. . . but seem to have misled it somewhere in my house. When I find I'll update this review, but based on the other tea I bought from unsourcing it should be good."

Like a whiskey-dipped cuban cigar

"Fantastic aged tea. To my uncultured American palate, this tea has a strong quality of leather and tobacco, with an oaky note not unlike a good whiskey. The similarities with a cuban cigar are uncanny, and very much welcomed! The minerality is definitely there and reminds me of fresh rain hitting a dusty road."

— Seth (5/5)

The best Da hong pao that I've tried

"My friend is a big fan of Da Hong Pao, and after a long separation, when we met, we drank this foreign tea. I would compare the blend and pleasant astringency with long-term elite whiskey. Incredible tea!"

— AKIM L. (5/5)

"По состоянию достаточно сильный. Но по вкусу мне больше нравятся молодые, у них для меня сильно ярче вкус, сухофрукты и печёная курага. Тут как-то слабый вкус показался, более минеральный, дымный"

— Dzmitry (3/5)

Good aged dark oolong

"An interesting dark oolong, aged, with roasted notes in the taste. Has a pronounced individual taste. The dry leaf is large with a woody smell. The brewed leaf has a deep taste, aroma with notes of roasted nuts, spices, smoky, with a slight mineral bitterness, with notes of autumn leaves on wet ground. This tea is somewhat reminiscent of Shu-puer. The effect is warming, invigorating, calming. Changes color during the spills from amber to rich red. It's a great tea, especially during the autumn and winter seasons."

— Sergey K. (5/5)

Q&A

Should I open the sealed package from delivery and let air circulate? I will store it in my basement, which is well climatically controlled.
This should be stored sealed.
