Da Hong Pao Oolong from La Route du The

I'm just back from a week in Paris and I'm doing my best to adjust to work and the time zone. I brought back three teas with me, one was this Da Hong Pao from La Route du The. It is a dark oolong with a rich mushroomy flavor and I dig it. It seems to benefit from water that's almost at a boil. This type of oolong is really a world different from greener oolongs. In fact it is closer to a pu-er.

More on Paris to come.
