Morning Tea #24 – Da Hong Pao

MorningCup Morning Tea #24   Da Hong Pao

Today’s cup is a Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea from PeLi Teas.

This tea brewed up a bit strong. A nice hearty aroma with strong roasted notes and deep vegetal overtones.

The flavor is strong with similar roasted notes, but little of the vegetal qualities came through. This tea has a nice body with some astringency in the finish.

Morning Cup #18 – Wuyi Rou Gui

MorningCup Morning Cup #18   Wuyi Rou Gui

This morning I’ve got a tea from PeLi Teas in my cup called Wuyi Rou Gui.

A nice light brew, this Wuyi Hou Gui offers a subtle aroma.

The flavor and body are interesting. A rocky Wuyi texture with a Tie Kuan Yin style body and flavor profile.
