Da Hong Pao Rock Tea Oolong Tea from WuYiShan Fujian

Da Hong Pao or "Big Red Robe", is one of China's most famous oolong teas, originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province. It belongs to the "rock tea" category, renowned for its rich aroma, complex flavor, and deep cultural significance. The name "Big Red Robe" comes from a legend where the tea trees were draped in red cloth, symbolizing their precious status.

Grown in rocky, mineral-rich soil under unique climate conditions, Da Hong Pao develops a distinctive "rock rhyme" (yan yun) flavor. The tea offers a layered fragrance combining floral, fruity, and roasted notes, with a smooth, full-bodied taste and a lingering sweet aftertaste. Its golden tea liquor is clear and bright.

Due to the rarity of the original mother trees, Da Hong Pao is often considered a luxury tea, historically reserved as a tribute for Chinese emperors. Today, it remains highly prized both in China and worldwide, attracting tea connoisseurs for its exceptional quality.

Actual colors of the tea may vary somewhat from pictured. Purchase the smallest amount to try before purchasing larger amounts.
