Heritage & Flavor
Teazoe’s Jin Mudan Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea, a treasure from Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, embodies the essence of authentic Wuyi rock tea. Grown in mineral-rich cliff soils, it boasts a signature ‘rock essence’ flavor. The large, dark leaves, charcoal-roasted to perfection, brew a bright orange liquor with a velvety texture, exuding a lasting orchid aroma. Smooth and satisfying, it leaves a lingering mineral sweetness. This oolong tea can be steeped over 12 times, revealing evolving flavors with each infusion.
