77/100

Big Red Robe Oolong Supreme (Da Hong Pao)

Oolong Tea by Jing Tea

Intense, pure, deep and mineral, with great sappy persistence and depth. Gently peachy fruit behind, with a perfumed, honeysuckle finish. Complex and masterful.

important edit: can’t seem to find about how to change this but i had the regular big red robe and note the supreme!

I once had this tea before but wasn’t into brewing oolongs back then, so i didn’t know that i didn’t used enough leaves. I like it back then but with using the correct way off brewing and a large amount off leaves this tea is fun!

The dry leaves are dark brown and pretty large with a funny smell, can’t really tell what the smell is!

But it taste wonderfull and lasts for me atleast 3 to 4cups western style brewing… i really really need to buy a gaiwan any time soon! I’m tasting dark chocolat with a long after taste off something… i’m not really sure if i’m tasting nuts or fruits like in the discription but its a great tea :)

Brewed it with a 2 teaspoons off leaf and for 3min with boiling water, second cup 4min… and so on. Have to say, the chocolat taste fades with each cup and is replaced with fruit and or nutty taste :)

A nice tea for if u want something different then the usually greens and blacks!

Sipping from this big red robe and joying it alot today, more then last time! I’m on a oolong day today!

keeping it short because i reviewed it a while ago, long story short a great tea!

Brews reddish amber. Liquor smells like beeswax and humus (the rich soil, not the dip). Taste is buttery roasted oak with a hint of strawberries. Leaves a charcoal, cocoa finish. Mild astringency. Shares some of the characteristics I like in The Simple Leaf’s “Dawn.”
