Vendor Notes
This aged Da Hong Pao offers a complex profile with a powerful cha qi. Early infusions present strong mineral notes and an oily sweetness reminiscent of cannabis, followed by a dried fruit aftertaste. While a subtle roast character from a recent re-roast is present initially, it gracefully fades in later infusions, allowing the fruitiness, mineral sweetness, and a velvety smoothness to truly shine.
