My first exposure was at a workshop in London and I loved it so much I had a friend hunt
for it while on her holidays in China. This is a fantastic little tea
that holds you in its arms and makes you feel that life is just fine.
I became so addicted to this tea that I recently found myself on holidays in northern Mozambique skulking around chinese stores and accosting anyone vaguely east asian looking to see where I could get some chinese teas....I found my bonheur eventually at the flagship chinese store in Maputo!
DaHongPao, China [Blue-Green] ***** $$$
Other Names: Buddha Hand tea.
First Brew: Great aroma, floral and slightly spicy, Take care not to brew too long.
Second Brew: The taste deepend and I find 2nd and 3rd brew to be the most comforting
Subsequent brews: This tea will loose flavour before it looses colour, I often try to do one brew over the line and have to throw out cause the leaves are too used
Similiar teas: Buddha Hand (Fo Shou), Wu Yi
