Da Hong Pao

A typical Da Hong Pao of very good quality, though of a rather light roast on charcoal for a Wuyi Rock Tea. Dahongpao is the most renowned of the Si Da Ming Cong, the "Four Great Famous Varietals" of the Wuyi Rock Teas. Typical Da Hong Pao teas are well balanced in their fruity notes, bread-like roast notes and mineral notes.

The name Dahongpao means "Great red robe" and refers to various legends, such as the following: The ill empress was healed with tea, upon which the emperor clad the tea bushes in great red robes, as a symbol of recognition.
