This tea tasted alright for the first few steeps. It was roasty, a bit chocolatey, and sweet. Sometimes it got a little bit sour, though that could have been because I put the whole 8g in my 100mL gaiwan. Halfway through the session there was a bit of a nutty flavor which developed as well. The tea started to die after around 6 or 7 steeps. I didn’t find it particularly interesting or fantastic tasting. It was alright, but there’s much better Da Hong Pao to be had.

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
