Bird King Da Hong Pao

練老師 鳥王種 大紅袍 2023 New Autumn Batch

This is a tea that can give you instant joy and relief, and it is also a Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) unlike any other you've tasted before. Master Lian has applied the traditional DHP methods from his family origin in Fujian onto tea leaves foraged from the ancient, indigenous Bird King trees in Guizhou: an expression of his nostalgia and a tribute to both of his homes. 

As the complex floral flavours roll back and forth in your mouth and throat, you will likely find hidden joy from the charcoal fire or encounter glimpses of the indescribable yet distinct flavours unique to the Bird King trees. If you want to connect with the part of you that is joyous, relaxed and graciously expressive, this is a tea for you.
