Da Hong Pao is the king of the Famous Five Rock Teas in the Wu Yi Mountain of China. This tea is legendary. Records of its existence date as far back as the early 18th century (Dao Guang Era). During Qing Dynasty, Da Hong Pao was entitled "King of Tea". In 1998, the Chinese government put it up for sale for the first time and was sold to a group of auctioneers for almost $900,000.

Other names:

Big Red Robe, Scarlet Robe

Taste:

Full bodied tea with a sweet aftertaste that is felt in your throat before the back of your tongue. After a few small Gong Fu cups, the pleasant floral fragrance remains in your mouth, lingering for a good few minutes. Not many tea has the ability to do this.

Appearance:

Traditional looking Oolong tea. Dark and slightly curled tea leaves.

Origin:

Wu Yi Shan, Fujian Province, China

Harvest Period:

Spring 2015

How to identify the quality of Da Hong Pao?


Brewing Guide

1. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water.

2. Fill the teapot 1/2 to 3/4 full with tea leaves, or 3 grams of tea leaves for every 150ml of water if you are not using purple clay. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 95°c (207°F) to 100°c (212°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing.

3. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.

* We suggest you can purple clay or porcelain tea ware.

This tea was a little too strong in flavor for me although I don't mind the smell. This would be a good tea for those who prefer a strong oolong.

A beautiful orange brew with a deep, smooth, slightly sweetish taste. There is just a hint of smoke that gives substance without being disturbing to people (like me) who do not like smoky flavour. It should be brewed very briefly, only 15-20 seconds in the Yixin pot. It yields very many excellent brewings.

A very nice surprise. This can show well even next to high quality dancong. It loses out in the long haul, but a very nice experience. Not too smoky at all. All elements are very nicely balanced. Not too tannic at all, even after 4 min brews. Nice strong scent but it lacks focus maybe. Good peachy bright fruit, but a little muffled or vague. Maintains is character well for two brews. Third is questionable. We will be ordering more of this tea for sure. A nice tea that also stands well with food. Good and the price is right. Thanks.

I run an international homestay in America. One of my Chinese students once gave me a gift, it was a package of Da Hong Pao. I loved it so much that I decided to order it myself. I feel that your Da Hong Pao is delicious and as described. It has a flowery aroma and after taste. My husband also likes it. The tea makes me feel good!! Thank you for this delicious tea.

This is my favourite tea and I always look forward to having it. Make sure that you close your eyes and forget all thoughts before you breathe in the unique fruity sweet aroma, which is instantly relaxing. The taste is rich and fruity with a sweet aftertaste, that lingers for a long time, even after many infusions. Personally I drink this tea while I am studying in order to stay calm and because it is uplifting. Very special.

One of the best oolongs I've ever had. Woody taste in the first few infusions, but that disappears and is replaced by a honey taste.

This is a super tea. The aroma of the dried leaves is good enough to eat. The brew combines lovely fruit and floral notes with just enough toasty flavors to keep in complex and interesting. Im still perfecting my gong fu technique for this tea, but I made a captivating brew on the first try. Highly recommended.
