Description

This tea is also known as DaHongPao or translated to Big Red Robe it is one of the most widely known of all Wuyi rock tea.

It has an extremely long history dating back to the Ming dynasty. Big Red Robe is known for its high mineral content, digestive health benefits along with its appealing taste.

This particular Oolong is grown at 2100 feet in elevation and was harvested in Spring 2014.

Dahongpao has a medium roast profile which highlights the complexity of its flavor. Chocolate notes, with fruity tones and a strong rock like taste are at the forefront for taste; along with a distinct crispness that is unique to rock grown tea such as this offering.

A nice lasting sensation is felt after drinking this tea. Depending on how you prepare it the tea will take on different notes, we urge you to experiment and take your time enjoying each infusion.
