Imperial Red (Da Hong Pao) from Silk Road Teas

JacquelineM drank Imperial Red (Da Hong Pao) by Silk Road Teas

Huge project at work – I made the first steep of this just-so, but the second – fourth? Craziness! This tea could handle it, though. Can you believe that even my poor forgotten third steep for 15 minutes was delicious!!??! Nut buttery and smooth even though it was steeping for half of forever. No bitterness.

This tea is a-mazing! ♥

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
