Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea

Da Hong Pao, is a prestigious Wuyi rock tea from China's Fujian Province. This oolong tea is celebrated for its rich, complex flavor profile and distinctive "yan yun" or "rock rhyme," a term that describes the mineral undertones imparted by the rocky terrain of the Wuyi Mountains. The tea's leaves are dark and tightly twisted, producing a bright, amber-colored liquor with a lingering orchid-like aroma and a sweet, smooth finish. Historically, Da Hong Pao was so esteemed that it was reserved for royalty and gifted to dignitaries. Today, it remains one of China's most treasured teas, with the original mother trees considered a national treasure. Due to its limited production and exceptional quality, authentic Da Hong Pao commands high prices, making it a sought-after delicacy among tea connoisseurs worldwide.
