Da Hong Pao — Big Red Robe
大红袍
Oolong
Description
The king of Wuyi rock oolongs. Grown on mineral-rich UNESCO cliffs. Powerful, roasted — caramel, stone fruit, and a deep mineral "rock taste" (yan yun) that defines great Chinese tea.
Why This Tea Is Special
Da Hong Pao — Big Red Robe expresses the character of Wuyi Mountains (UNESCO): careful processing, clear terroir, and a profile that unfolds infusion after infusion. This is a tea meant for an attentive session rather than a quick cup.
