hehe I was just going to write that this one (the Medium one) is way better than their dark roasted one. The best one to me though is the YS one because you can taste the nuts. I hope that was the other one I sent you.
Did you find this one very floral? I feel weird that I had such a different experience.
Nope. I usually can’t stand floral teas… I was re-reading your notes and was wondering could I have mislabelled it. Did it look green or roasted? hehe
It was definitely roasted, looked similar to the other dark oolongs you sent. :(
Better yet, did it look like the picture? I know I sent you one that I found too floral, called the immortal prayer but that one is in its own foil package.
Ok, then that would be it. So strange. I wonder if you did it boiling and longer time period. I did it at 25s with boiling. I sure hope you get to try another DHP though.
You did also send the dark roast version, along with Golden Peony and Shui Jin from Mandala. So I’ll see how those compare!
Ok! :D
Here is a short conversation on Da Hong Pao:

“More often than not, what is being sold as da hong pao are blends that consists mostly of Huang guan yin, an incredibly floral cultivar.”
