Leaf Teas of Distinction
Da Hong Pao China tea (Big Red Robe tea)
One of China’s most treasured teas, this Wuyi rock tea has the distinction of being one of the most expensive teas sold in auction history.
Originally there were just four bushes growing out of the rocks, 2 of which still survive today and are still harvested. Such was the quality of the tea that a grateful emperor provided big red robes to clothe the bushes in inclement weather, hence the tea’s other name – Big Red Robe tea.
The tea is oxidised for a sweet aromatic delivery. During infusion there is a coffee-like fragrance. Its exceptionally strong character has a hint of black coffee replaced by a sweet pleasant fruity aftertaste. Multiple infusions continue to offer Oolong flavour with a silky smooth aftertaste.
