The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, and filmmaker, Josh Hyde, steep Da Wu Ye, translating to “Big Dark Leaf.” This is an exceptionally smooth and fragrant oolong from the Phoenix Mountains in Guangdong. Its large, darkly colored leaves brew a bright and refreshing tea soup which suggests pungent flowers, tropical fruits, and sweet gourds. It is a very sweet, pungent and full bodied tea which leaves a lasting aroma after drinking, and is a very fine example of Dan Cong oolong. Renowned among connoisseurs, Phoenix, or Dan Cong, oolongs are distinctive for their emphasis on the character of the specific tea-bush they are harvested from. The older-tree material our Da Wu Ye is made from adds to its depth and character. It is highly infusable and leaves a lingering sweetness and fragrance on the palette.
