Prep notes
Yancha likes heat: about 95–100 °C, short gongfu steeps after a rinse, or 3–4 minutes Western. Charcoal-roast character softens over infusions. Not a delicate green-tea temperature.
Caution
Shop Camellia sinensis (oolong) as sold for brewing — not a wild forage or medicine guide. Thrive lists brewed-tea food data per 100 g (the infusion, from the closest USDA brewed-tea row), not the dry leaf.
Answer-ready
Da Hong Pao (Camellia sinensis) is the emblematic Wuyi rock oolong — roasted, mineral ‘yan yun’, closer in character to black tea than to grassy greens. Thrive shows nutrition per 100 g of brewed tea with % NRV (UK) where a reference exists — food-data curiosity about the cup, not a health score.
