Description
A Remarkable Chinese Rock Oolong
Discover one of China's most celebrated oolong teas. Da Hong Pao, meaning Big Red Robe, is a distinctive Chinese oolong tea grown in the Wuyi Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Fujian Province.
Also known as Wuyi rock tea or Yan Cha, Da Hong Pao takes its name from the rocky mountain landscape where it is cultivated. This unique growing environment is part of what makes Wuyi oolong teas so highly regarded.
What Does Da Hong Pao Taste Like?
Despite its rich, dark amber colour, Da Hong Pao has a wonderfully smooth and balanced character. Expect a gently sweet flavour with rounded, earthy notes and subtle oak-like depth.
It's a complex yet approachable oolong, making it a brilliant choice for tea lovers looking to explore beyond traditional black and green teas.
A Tea Worth Brewing Again
One of the pleasures of Da Hong Pao is that the same leaves can be infused multiple times, allowing you to explore how the flavour develops with each brew.
Whether you're discovering Chinese oolong tea for the first time or already appreciate the character of Wuyi rock teas, Big Red Robe offers a distinctive and rewarding tea experience.
