Pan Yang Gongfu

Back by popular demand, and one of my favorites, this red tea from Tan Yang is bursting with flavor.  Tan Yang is a famous town for making tea in the area next to Fu Ding. This particular tea uses a new style of making that utilizes a shaking step very similar to oolong making in order to bring out more aroma. The result is a tea with so much going on its almost hard to describe.  The first thing you notice about this tea is just how dark and rich it is. The body and base flavor are almost like coca cola with a layer of mahogany like depth and texture. There is also a very clear rose aroma which is seems to be the result of the new making mentioned before.  All in all this is an extremely fun tea to drink. Its complex but bold so even at a casual tasting you will be able to easily notice that there are many things going on in this cup.
