Brewing Guide:
We recommend using purple clay or porcelain tea ware. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water. Fill the teapot 2 - 5 grams (1-5 teaspoons) full with tea leaves for every 225ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 95°c (203°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing. Gradually increase steeping time for subsequent brewing.

 

The Da Hong Pao Exquisite is an unusually delicous tea. The chocolatey scent from its well-roasted dry leaves is a fantastic beginning for a gongfu tea experience that delights. I found the tea to have good body, a lovely amber liquor and delicious fruit and floral interchanges between brews. I got seven solid brews from a six gram package in a 4oz teapot, and probably could have kept going. I will definitely re-order this tea as a special treat to have on hand.
