A small plug for a promising new tea import company.

2008 Dahongpao

Dahongpao is one of the four classic oolong teas of the Wuyi region. A status roughly equivalent to a Burgundian grand cru such as Richebourg or Clos de Tart. Accordingly, there are many imitations that make you wonder what the fuss is about. This expensive Dahongpao shows why the reputation is well deserved.
