Description

A roasted, honeyed Oolong from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian province. According to legend, a very ill nobleman was lost in the mountains when some poor villagers fed him a brew made from the leaves of a revered tree. He quickly regained his health and was so impressed that he took off his brilliant red robe and hung it on the tree to indicate its power. It’s said that all Da Hong Pao tea bushes can still be traced back to that original tree.
