Teasprings Wu Yi Cha Wang Da Hong Pao
This is the last of my new teas till I get some more. This is another one of the "fancy" Da Hong Pao's from Teaspring, coming in its own tiny packet, and box. I will be sure to try and get more teas to review shortly, and look at my postings on my other sites for reviews on Coffee, and coming soon Whiskey.
1: 30 seconds boiling.
Nose: Vanilla, Burnt Toast, Hints of coffee, and blue berries.
Palate: Strong bitter begginning, only getting more bitter as time goes on. Very reminiscient of a strong espresso. It also has hints of chocolate, and a slight burt toffee sweetness to it.
Finish: Lingering toast, with a nice hint of sweetness.
2: 20 seconds, Boiling.
Nose: Burnt Toast, A lot more lighter scents now, hints of banana's and citrus, still a slight coffee aroma.
Palate: Molassas, charred toast, possibly a hint of sour apple.
Finish: lingering dryness, leaves you wanting more.
3: 30 seconds, Boiling.
Nose: Well done toast, with hints of cherries.
Palate: Toast,
Finish: lasting coffee.
This one did not impress wholly on the taste, but it was definitely a well roasted DHP, with a wonderful aroma, and interesting finishes.
