Very good dark Oolong, and I don’t usually like the dark ones. 3 steeps and it kept its strength really well. If Anything it got stronger as I added steeps. I can really taste the Scarlet Robe. J/k

A little more heavily roasted than the other Da Hong Pao’s I’ve tried, but very good. I’ve gotten the best results steeping this for shorter times (2-2.5 min) at 185 for 3-4 infusions.
Steeping longer makes for a much darker and richer brew, but I find it a little overpowering.
