A really nice DHP
I believe this is a blended "Wuyi Rock Oolong" - heavily oxidised by charcoal roasting. On tasting it has a smooth creamy feel, roasted malt with notes of maple wood, dried fruits, possibly dates maybe maple syrup. There is a long mildly quenching mineral finish. Warming body feel. With Gung-Fu brewing I got a generous 9 infusions using 5g leaf with 80-90ºC water for about 20 seconds. I am very glad I gave it a go and have added it to my collection of Oolongs.
Lovely tea
I've been given this tea by my friend for Christmas few years ago and it's that kind of tea I feel having rather occasionally (this might apply only to me tho as I prefer light floral teas) It has trully unique rich body and smoky taste notes as well as caramel. For anyone enjoying this type of tea Rare Tea Co is the one to choose. Tins are beautiful too and I am lucky to got couple of different ones before they changed design which is 'too loud' for my taste. But isn't it about the content? ;)

An amazing tea
This tea has a wonderful depth of flavor. I don’t quite know how to say it, it is like a variety of flavors in every sip, each distinct yet somehow all one. I've been trying the various Chinese teas to see what I like, and this one has moved to the top of my list.

This tea is a powerful serving of awesomeness. It has a smell of sun-dried wood and an earthy and organic taste. It reminds me of small lakes and streams, dry leaves and dark soil. It reminds me of home. This tea, together with a japanese sencha and an indian black tea, is the third pillar in my collection of teas. I have yet to find the fourth.
