Description

Da Hong Pao is one of China’s famous oolong teas, and is one of the world’s greats. It’s known in English as, “Big Red Robe,” named when a Chinese emperor was so overwhelmed by the tea that he gave his robes of office to an underling and commanded that they be placed at the roots of the tree that produced this great thing he was tasting. It’s been cultivated primarily in the WuYi mountains forever, and the volcanic rocky soil produces the tea’s very unique flavor.
