Ta Hun Pao Tea

Oct 05, 2006 4 Replies

Hi, everyone, I just bought a bit of this at Wing Hop Fung (where it seems, none of the "tea ladies" know much about tea and refer to them all by number) and I like it! However, I can't seem to find much information about this particular tea. Any input would be most appreciated. Also, grabbed an ounce+ of their "Supreme High Mountain" Oolong ($150.00#) and it is luscious. The "Special Grade Phoenix" is rather tasty with a nice, liquory long-lasting flavor with several infusions and inexpensive, as well. The woman was kind enough to include a couple of sample ounces in my bag; but theyare, regretably nameless and numbered. Next visit, I'll check it out since the oolong (dark/aged #1094) was very nice. Thanks to all of you who have boosted my tea education. Shen



Hmm, never saw that before, but I would bet a lot that it's yet another romanization of Da Hong Pao. This is one of the most famous Chinese teas, and there's no end of information (and misinformation) about it.

I just checked the web for Ta Hun Pao, and Google came up empty, to my relief: no need to add it to Babelcarp!

Sounds like "Da Hong Bao" to me too. Shen, do you mind a little description of your sample [appearance, flavour] ?
