A Tea That Changes Through the Infusions

One of the pleasures of Da Hong Pao is following the tea across multiple steeps.

First Infusions

Roasted · Aromatic · Bold

The opening cups show more of the roast and immediate aroma.

Middle Infusions

Smooth · Full · Layered

The body becomes rounder and more balanced.

Later Infusions

Gentle · Mineral · Lingering

The tea gradually becomes softer while retaining its character.
