Da Hong Pao - The Red Robe of Royalty
Da Hong Pao - The Red Robe of Royalty
Da Hong Pao, also known as "Big Red Robe," is a highly esteemed variety of oolong tea originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, China. Renowned for its rich flavor and complex aroma, Da Hong Pao is characterized by its dark, twisted leaves and a deep reddish-brown infusion. The tea offers a unique balance of floral and fruity notes, with a hint of roasted undertones, making it a favorite among tea connoisseurs. Traditionally, it is considered one of the most expensive teas in the world, with a storied history and cultural significance in Chinese tea culture.
Royally Revered
The legend surrounding Da Hong Pao tells of a scholar who, after being cured of an illness by drinking the tea, sought to express his gratitude to the tea bushes. He wrapped them in red robes, hence the name "Big Red Robe." Over the centuries, Da Hong Pao has been celebrated not only for its rich, complex flavor profile but also for its rarity and high price, as only a limited number of original tea bushes remain.
