Frequently asked questions
How much caffeine does Da Hong Pao Imperial Ember Blend contain?
Yes. Da Hong Pao Imperial Ember Blend naturally contains caffeine from the Wuyi Rock Oolong tea. The exact caffeine amount can vary depending on steeping time, water temperature, and the tea itself, and this blend has not been laboratory tested for a specific caffeine level. It can be a good choice for a flavorful morning tea.
How many servings are in one pouch?
Each pouch contains 15 pyramid sachets, providing 15 primary servings. Each sachet can also be re-steeped for additional infusions, depending on your preferred strength.
Can each pyramid sachet be re-steeped?
Yes. Each pyramid sachet can be re-steeped for additional infusions. The second steep will usually be lighter and more delicate than the first. For best results, use fresh hot water and adjust the steeping time to your preferred strength.
How is Imperial Ember Blend different from traditional Da Hong Pao?
Traditional Da Hong Pao is a straight Wuyi Rock Oolong tea known for its roasted depth and distinctive mineral character. Imperial Ember Blend builds on that oolong base with lemongrass, ginger, and cinnamon, creating a brighter, warmer, lightly spiced cup while still keeping the character of the underlying tea.
Does Da Hong Pao Imperial Ember Blend make a good gift?
Yes. Da Hong Pao Imperial Ember Blend makes a distinctive gift for tea drinkers who enjoy rich oolong tea with warming notes of ginger and cinnamon and a bright touch of lemongrass. The 15 pyramid sachets make it easy to brew and present as a thoughtful premium tea gift.
