Basic Information

Experience the profound character of this premium Qiming Wuyi Rock Tea, meticulously crafted using a traditional high-roast technique to achieve a bold and full-bodied taste. Created by Wang Shunming, a national-level inheritor of intangible cultural heritage and the visionary behind the "Qiming" brand ("Zhenpin" signifying its treasured quality), this exceptional brew utilizes Da Hong Pao leaves as its core. Prepare for a rich and layered drinking experience, defined by distinctive floral and woody aromas that unfold with each infusion.

This high-roast style yields a deep and satisfying flavor profile. The Da Hong Pao tea liquor is remarkably full-bodied, offering a smooth and soothing sensation that culminates in a lingering aftertaste. Delight in its sweet richness, perfectly balanced by a subtle interplay of bitterness and sweetness, leaving a refreshingly mellow sweetness on the palate. The captivating aroma further enhances the experience with delicate hints of orchid and grounding woody notes.

Please note that this tea's deep and complex flavors are best appreciated by seasoned tea drinkers who can fully embrace its nuanced character. While its intensity may not be the immediate preference of newcomers, it promises a rewarding and sophisticated journey for those with an experienced palate.

Steeping Guidelines

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:20. Brew with water at 100°C (212°F). For each infusion, pour the water from a fixed height directly onto the leaves to enhance aroma and flavor release. Immediately pour out the tea liquor after adding water—do not let it steep. Begin tasting from the first infusion. Starting from the fifth infusion, gradually increase the steeping time with each subsequent brew if needed. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew. Bottled water is recommended to ensure the delicate flavors.
