Da Hong Pao, also known as “Big Red Robe,” is one of China’s most prized oolong teas, originating from the majestic cliffs of the Wuyi Mountains. Its legendary history tells of an emperor who honored the original tea bushes with red robes after they healed his mother. Today, the tea’s deep, roasted aroma and rich mineral taste capture the essence of this ancient tradition in every sip.
What makes Da Hong Pao unique is its complex flavor profile—notes of orchid, stone fruit, roasted nuts, and lingering sweetness—brought out through traditional charcoal roasting and careful cultivation in rocky mountain soil. Each steep reveals a new layer of taste and aroma, especially when brewed gong fu style, where multiple infusions showcase its depth and elegance.
To experience the true character of this rare tea, it’s essential to choose a trusted source. TeaYuCafe offers authentic Da Hong Pao grown in Wuyi’s core region, ensuring quality and tradition in every leaf. Whether you’re a longtime tea lover or just beginning your oolong journey, this tea offers a timeless taste of Chinese heritage.
