Description<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” el_class=”justi”]<\/p>\n

Da Hong Pao, or \u201cBig Red Robe\u201d, is one of China’s most celebrated oolong teas, closely associated with the tea-growing traditions of the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian province. The oolongs produced in this rocky landscape are collectively known as rock teas, or yancha<\/em>. Their distinctive character is shaped by partial oxidation, careful rolling and traditional roasting techniques.<\/p>\n

The dry tea consists of long, loosely twisted leaves in deep dark-brown shades, sometimes appearing almost black. Once infused, it produces a clear, rich, reddish-amber liquor.<\/p>\n

One of the most remarkable characteristics of this Da Hong Pao is its rich aroma reminiscent of dark chocolate, which begins to unfold as soon as the dry leaves are placed in a preheated gaiwan or teapot. This deep, full-bodied fragrance remains prominent throughout the first infusions.<\/p>\n

During subsequent infusions, notes reminiscent of roasted walnuts gradually emerge, revealing new dimensions of the tea’s character. Its rich, complex flavour is complemented by a pleasantly lingering finish.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”6316″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1793189628249{border-left-width: 3px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;border-color: #ba3818 !important;}”]<\/p>\n

History<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”justi”]<\/p>\n

The history of Da Hong Pao is closely connected to the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian province, southeastern China. Steep cliffs, narrow valleys and distinctive microclimates have shaped the character of the region’s oolong teas for centuries. Wuyi rock teas are among the most highly regarded teas in Chinese tea culture.<\/p>\n

A famous legend surrounds the name Da Hong Pao. According to the story, a young scholar fell seriously ill near the Wuyi Mountains while travelling to take the imperial examinations. A local monk offered him a special tea, after which the young man recovered and was able to continue his journey.<\/p>\n

The scholar later passed his examinations and attained a high official rank. In gratitude, he returned to the mountains to thank those who had helped him. According to one version of the legend, he draped his ceremonial red robe over the tea bushes as a gesture of respect. This is said to be the origin of the name Da Hong Pao, meaning \u201cBig Red Robe\u201d. Several versions of the story exist, although its historical accuracy has not been established.<\/p>\n

The famous original Da Hong Pao mother bushes, located in the Jiulongke rocky valley of the Wuyi Mountains, are still held in great esteem. These old tea bushes are considered an important part of China’s tea heritage. Commercial harvesting from them was discontinued in 2006 to protect them for future generations.<\/p>\n

The Da Hong Pao teas available today therefore do not come from these protected mother bushes. The name is now used for various teas associated with the traditions of the Wuyi Mountains, produced from cultivated tea plants using established processing methods.<\/p>\n

The significance of Da Hong Pao lies not only in its legendary past but also in the tea-growing and processing expertise that has shaped Wuyi oolong teas over generations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1793189716176{border-left-width: 3px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;border-color: #ba3818 !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”justi”]<\/p>\n

Use 4\u20135 g of tea per 100\u2013150 ml of water<\/strong>, preferably in a gaiwan or a small teapot. Pour over with water at 90\u201395 \u00b0C<\/strong> and steep for approximately 30\u201360 seconds<\/strong> for the first infusion.<\/p>\n

The tea can be infused several times. Dark-chocolate aromas dominate the first infusions, while roasted walnut notes gradually become more noticeable in later infusions. Adjust the steeping time according to your taste.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1793187813735{padding-top: 3px !important;padding-right: 3px !important;padding-bottom: 3px !important;padding-left: 3px !important;background-color: #BA3818 !important;}” el_class=”feher”]Secret tip:<\/strong>
\nBefore brewing, preheat your gaiwan or teapot, then place the dry tea leaves inside. Cover with the lid for a few seconds, then lift it and enjoy the rich aroma reminiscent of dark chocolate.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
