Additional Information
Steeping Guideline
The dry leaves are long, twisted and dark reddish-brown with olive green undertones and a mildly roasted aroma. The beautifully clear, reddish-amber infusion features a markedly fruity aroma that is best appreciated by using an aroma cup, but, if aroma cups are not available, be sure to at least enjoy the fragrance left behind on the lid of your gaiwan after decanting. The full-bodied liquor is rich, roasty, & woody-sweet with an impressive minarality and intense fruitiness in the long lasting finish.
Jiu Long Pao (九龙袍; Pinyin: Jiǔ Lóng Páo; En: Nine Dragon Robe) is a newer Wuyi cultivar developed in Wuyishan. It was most likely named after the Nine Dragon Cave located near the "Original Da Hong Pao" bushes attraction in the Wuyishan national park area.
Western Style:
Leaf: ±3 g (best to weigh because of leaf size/shape; approx 4-5 tsp) per cup
Water: 195°F (just under boil)
Time: 3-4 Min
Gong Fu:
Start with 7-8 grams of leaf in your favorite gaiwan, water just off the boil, and a series of short infusions. Start with about 20 seconds for the first steep, and gradually increase the steeping time over a series of 6 or more infusions.
Please be sure to adjust the amount of leaf, steeping time, and/or water temperature according to your taste.
