Description

An oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains with a legendary heritage.

Legend has it that a Qing dynasty emperor visited the Jiulong Cave of Wuyi Mountain and was so entranced with the tea that he gave his red imperial robes and commanded that they be placed at the roots of the tea plant, hence the name “Great Red Robe” (大红袍) tea.
