This Dao Hung Pao oolong tea originates from wild rare tea plants found growing on the cliff of Wuyi Mountain, China. Special nourishing medicinal properties are attributed to this tea. Yeasty like a fresh baked bread with a hint of sweetened peach compote or molasses are sometimes used to describe it. We think it is closer to Puerh, both in health benefits and earthy taste. This tea must be rinsed with hot water for 10 seconds before brewing.
BIG RED ROBE
1. Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil.
2. Swirl boiling water in the teapot or mug for 1 minute to warm it up, discard water.
3. For each cup of tea place 1 level teaspoon of tea leaves in the tea infuser (a three finger pinch works better for these leaves - using thumb, pointer and middle finger, grab the volume of leaves equal to the size of a grape).
4. Pour boiling water over tea leaves, cover and brew for 3 minutes.
5. Remove infuser and leaves, and serve.
6. Can be rebrewed several times, adding 1 additional minute to the brew time.
