Da Hong Pao (大红袍), or "Big Red Robe", is a prestigious oolong tea originating from the Wuyi Mountains in China's Fujian province. Renowned for its complex flavor profile and historical significance, Da Hong Pao is a semi-oxidized tea crafted from large, dark leaves. Its distinct aroma blends floral notes with hints of roasted nuts and a subtle mineral essence, attributed to the rocky terroir of its growth. Legend has it that Da Hong Pao was once a tribute tea reserved exclusively for emperors due to its rarity and exceptional quality.
Today, authentic Da Hong Pao remains rare and highly sought after. Its production involves a complex process, demanding tea makers with at least 10 years of experience. This tea is revered not only for its taste but also for its cultural heritage, making it a prized symbol of traditional Chinese tea craftsmanship and prestige.
