大紅袍
Da Hong Pao
(Big Red Robe)
The Pinnacle of Rock Tea
Zen Tea Essence
Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) rock tea is produced in the Jiulong Ke area of Wu Yi Mountain, Fujian. The history of this tea tree dates back to 1385 and is recognized as one of China’s historical famous teas. The tea leaves are tightly rolled, with a green-brown color that is fresh and lustrous. When brewed, the tea soup has a bright orange-yellow color. What sets Da Hong Pao apart is its rich aroma, featuring a distinct orchid fragrance that is high and lasting, with a clear rock essence.
Da Hong Pao is highly resistant to multiple infusions, with lingering fragrance even after seven or eight steepings. To fully appreciate the tea, it is best brewed using traditional kung fu tea tools, in small teapots, and sipped slowly from small tea cups to experience the lively, sweet, clear, and fragrant beauty of the rock tea’s Zen-like essence. It is important to note that the Da Hong Pao tea available on the market today is often a blend created by manufacturers or retailers. Therefore, it is recommended to choose the Da Hong Pao that best suits your personal taste when enjoying this tea.
