Da Hong Pao — Craftfolio
Taste: Milky, Floral, Bamboo
Serving: Each canister makes 25–30 cups of tea.
The mark of great Wuyi Rock Tea is the “green leaf with red edges.” It means the leaf’s surface is lightly bruised, turning red at the rim while the center stays green. Achieving this balance of about half fermentation is rare. It gives the tea both the richness of black tea and the freshness of green tea. To reach it, the leaf must be hand tossed with perfect timing and then roasted at exactly the right heat in each stage. It is a pursuit of fragrance and depth in equal measure.

Oolong Tea
Partially oxidized between green and black tea, oolong develops unique polymerized polyphenols that have been studied for their interaction with enzymes involved in dietary fat digestion. For generations, families across East Asia have reached for oolong alongside richer meals. Modern research now offers a possible explanation for that everyday wisdom, with studies linking oolong polyphenols to post-meal fat digestion and lipid metabolism.
Our Sourcing
Wuyishan, China
The Wuyi Mountains in northern Fujian are one of China’s most celebrated tea-growing regions. Steep rocky slopes, mineral-rich soils, frequent mist, and abundant rainfall create a cool, humid environment where tea plants can grow slowly and develop more concentrated flavor. The mountains also experience noticeable temperature changes between day and night, which helps the leaves build aroma while retaining freshness. Combined with the region’s long history of tea cultivation and highly refined processing traditions, these conditions give Wuyi teas their characteristic depth, mineral structure, and layered fragrance.
Our Standards
From our founder — Joey Zhou
When we created the Craftfolio series, we knew Da Hong Pao belonged among these stories. It represents the highest expression of Wuyi Rock Tea, crafted from exceptional leaves and shaped through a process where every decision influences its final character. Sharing this level of mastery with the world has always been one of our intentions.
We traveled to Wuyi Mountain in search of a nationally recognized inheritor of Rock Tea. Many of the masters we met were older and firmly established, content to remain within their own traditions. Then, through a close friend, we were introduced to Master Huang, the youngest inheritor in Wuyi. From the beginning, his ambition felt different. He was grounded yet forward-looking, deeply committed to bringing his hometown’s tea to a wider stage, and willing to devote himself to the long work required to do so.
As we learned more about him, we saw how his dedication extended beyond his own craft. He brought his family into the work, shared his techniques with local farmers, and helped restore confidence in a tea once thought to have no future. His Da Hong Pao for Craftfolio reflects not only technical excellence, but also a belief that tea can uplift a community and carry a hometown’s story beyond its mountains. We hope that when you taste it, you feel the strength of that devotion.
