Big Red Robe Oolong Tea

One of China’s most legendary teas, Big Red Robe (Da Hong Pao) is from the misty Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province, where rocky cliffs and mineral-rich soil give rise to the region’s prized “rock oolongs.” This highly oxidized oolong features long, twisted leaves with a deep roasted aroma, complex body, and a lingering mineral finish. Steeped in history and legend, the original tea bushes of Da Hong Pao is said to have cured an emperor’s mother centuries ago. As a reward, a red robe was honorably granted to the farmer to place around the tea bushes, earning fame to the town. Steeping Suggestion: Use 1 tsp/ 8oz cup. Steep 4-5 minutes in 190 °F water.
