Indulge in the exquisite taste of our premium Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) 大红袍 Oolong tea, which is sourced directly from the renowned Wuyi Mountains. This authentic Yancha (rock tea, 岩茶) offers a rich, full-bodied experience that tea connoisseurs will truly appreciate.

Key Features:

Origin and History:

Da Hong Pao, also known as Big Red Robe大红袍, has a storied history dating back to the Ming Dynasty. This legendary tea originates from the high altitudes of the Wuyi Mountains 武夷山, a region famous for its unique terroir that imparts distinctive characteristics to its teas. The name "Da Hong Pao" is derived from a famous legend where the tea was used to cure an illness of a high-ranking official, who then covered the tea bushes with a red robe in gratitude.

Processing:

Our Da Hong Pao is crafted by tea masters with decades of experience, using traditional techniques to preserve the tea's natural essence. The leaves undergo a meticulous process of withering, rolling, oxidation, and roasting, which enhances their complex flavors and aromas.

Flavor Profile:

Da Hong Pao is known for its strong, aromatic brew with a distinctive rocky (Yan Yun, 岩韵) taste, characteristic of premium Wuyi oolong teas. The tea offers a smooth and full-bodied flavor with a pleasant lingering aftertaste. Notes of mineral, floral, and subtle fruit flavors dance on the palate, creating a harmonious and satisfying experience.

Leaf Appearance:

The dark, tightly twisted leaves with a lustrous sheen indicate careful processing and high quality. These leaves produce a clear, reddish-brown infusion that is visually appealing and full-flavored.

Aroma:

Rich floral notes with a hint of roasted fragrance create a complex and inviting scent that is characteristic of Da Hong Pao. The aroma is both soothing and invigorating, making each cup a delightful sensory experience.

Liquor:

The tea produces a clear, reddish-brown liquor that is visually appealing and full-flavored. The medium-high fire (足火) roast level brings out the tea's robust character and deep flavors, making it a favorite among tea enthusiasts.

Health Benefits:

Da Hong Pao is rich in antioxidants and offers numerous health benefits associated with traditional oolong teas. Regular consumption can aid in digestion, boost metabolism, and promote overall well-being.

Purity:

Our Da Hong Pao is carefully processed without any additives, preserving the natural goodness of the tea. This ensures that you enjoy an authentic taste of one of China's most celebrated tea varieties.

Perfect for tea enthusiasts who appreciate the depth and complexity of a classic Wuyi oolong, this Da Hong Pao tea promises an authentic and luxurious tea-drinking experience. Discover the rich history, meticulous craftsmanship, and unparalleled flavor of Da Hong Pao with every sip.
