Da Hong Pao Oolong tea is one of the most precious teas in the world
Da Hong Pao is one of the most famous and traditional Chinese Oolong teas. Unlike many modern Oolong teas, the large leaves of Da Hong Pao are not rolled into small balls after harvesting, but twisted into long sticks around their own axis. Due to the particularly long oxidation and strong roasting over charcoal fire, it has pronounced roasted and smoky aromas.
There are still three centuries-old Da Hong Pao tea plants in the Wuyi Mountains. They are said to be the origin of tea and are revered as a national shrine. All Da Hong Pao teas today were obtained at some point as offshoots of these three tea plants. This exclusivity of origin and traditional processing make Da Hong Pao one of the most precious teas in the world.
Da Hong Pao is the most famous oolong tea among Wuyi rock teas
Da Hong Pao is a strong and complex oolong tea. The mountainous slopes of Wuyishan, with their unique climate and mineral-rich soils, produce strong and aromatic tea leaves. These are then traditionally made into oolong rock tea. The tea is oxidized to a relatively high degree (70%) and then roasted several times over charcoal fire.
The infusion color of Da Hong Pao Oolong tea is a beautiful dark brown. Even the leaves give off a spicy and fruity aroma. The tea is very full-bodied, without having a bitter taste. The tea delights with a complex blend of toasted woody aromas with notes of nuts and cocoa, as well as sweet fruit aromas reminiscent of dried fruit. This leads to a wonderful overall experience of strong, spicy flavors.
The tea delights again with every infusion. The first infusions are dominated by aromas of spices and fruits. In terms of flavor, roasted notes and a slight sweetness stand out. During the last infusions, the roasted notes gradually disappear, and the berry flavors stand out more. The tea can easily be infused more than 10 times.
Chinese oolong tea from traditional tea gardens
Oolong teas are the link between black and green tea
Oolong teas originally come from Taiwan and China. The peculiarity of Oolong tea is that it is semi-oxidized. Oxidation causes the tea leaves to turn brown to black and the flavor changes. Green tea and black tea are both at one extreme of this spectrum. In green tea, oxidation is stopped immediately after harvesting. Black tea is completely oxidized. The art of oolong tea is finding balance.
In terms of flavor, it bridges the gap between green and black tea and combines both the freshness of green tea and the flavors of black tea. This makes oolong tea undeniably the most flavorful type of tea. With oolong tea, you can expect a burst of flavor.
Preparation of oolong tea:
When brewing oolong tea, it is important to choose a teapot that is large enough to allow the mostly rolled leaves to unfold properly. Oolong tea can be prepared very well in a gaiwan or a Chinese teapot, for example made of Yixing clay. Oolong tea is also ideal for Chinese tea ceremony with a Gong Fu Cha ceremony set.
For the first infusion, you should also choose a slightly longer infusion time to allow the tea leaves to develop. For the first infusion, a water temperature of 80 - 90 °C and a brewing time of 2.5 - 3 minutes is best. All subsequent infusions can then be prepared with a preparation time of 2 minutes.
