Wuyi Ensemble, known as Da Hong Pao or Wuyi rock tea, is a roasted oolong tea from the Wuyi mountains in Fujian province, China. The high fire treatment gives Wuyi oolong its specific smoky and minerally character. This is a beautifully balanced and complex tea with a deep, yet faint, ripe fruitiness in the background. The flavor is slightly honey-floral and nutty, with hints of white sesame, cinnamon, and sweetened burdock root. There is a lingering sweet caramel aftertaste due to the high fire roasting technique. Wuyi Ensemble oolong is warming and satisfying. Being a good digestive tea it goes well with food or sweets. It is perfect for multiple infusions so you can tease out many layers of intriguing flavor.

How smoky is it? Are we talking Lapsang Souchong(campfire) level, or more along the lines of gunpowder green, or sleeping dragon?

“ Hey Chad! Thanks for your question. Definitely more along the lines of Gunpowder, or even a Genmai Cha, where the smokiness is a flavor note, rather than the smoke forward flavor of Lapsang. ”

Can you sell a 3oz or 4oz option? 1.5 is not enough but 8 is too much.
