China Wuyi Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea

Da Hong Pao Tea (also known as big red robe) is a tea variety of Wuyi Rock Tea. Growing on the cliffs of Mount Wuyi, there were only 6 earliest mother trees at first, which are still alive. By virtue of difficulty in planting, low yield and very good quality, Da Hong Pao Tea is considered to be the most precious tea variety of Chinese oolong tea.

About 100 years ago, people found the first six Da Hong Pao Tea trees on a cliff in Mount Wuyis, which have a fragrant aroma. For the next 50 years, people had been trying to breed these teas, but achieved nothing. In the 1970s, people discovered that this tea variety only survives aside rocks, and Da Hong Pao was gradually generalized until the 1980s.

With difficult planting, low yield and very good quality, Da Hong Pao Tea is considered to be the most precious tea variety of Chinese oolong tea.
