Oolong tea from the Phoenix Mountains, China
Da Wu Ye literally means "big dark leaf". Its aroma is slightly dark and sweet. It is less floral and more fruity, with cherry and dried prune notes taking the lead. When brewed, the first impression is floral and smooth. First, it is very gentle on the tongue, but the aftertaste comes and intensifies quickly with the sweet, mellow notes of peach, mango and passion fruit, typical for the greatest Dancongs. This delicious aftertaste is incredibly lasting.
Ideally prepared with 95°C water and in 30-second infusions, gradually increasing the time of re-steeping. The liquor is honey gold and kind to the brewer. It doesn't turn bitter even with slightly longer steeps.

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/90ml ratio, pour boiling water on them and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.

Warm, vanilla and floral smell, initial taste is mild, with slight astringency. Aftertaste is a fruity, chalky, powdery taste - a bit like a mild donut peach. It pretty much tastes like what the tasting notes say. Overall a good brew.
