Oolong Da Hong Pao

Experience the rich history and exceptional craftsmanship of one of China’s most revered and legendary teas. Da Hong Pao, also known as Big Red Robe, offers a rare and extraordinary tea experience that reflects the deep-rooted heritage of Chinese tea culture.

Tea Palace's Da Hong Pao Oolong is a remarkable tribute to the ancient art of Chinese tea production. Hailing from the majestic Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, this tea is renowned as one of the oldest and most prestigious oolongs in existence. The tea's legacy is intertwined with legend: it is said that the name "Da Hong Pao" was given by a Ming Dynasty Emperor who, impressed by its healing properties, honoured the tea bushes by draping them with luxurious red robes. This act of reverence immortalised the tea’s value, and the original four tea bushes are still thriving on a cliffside in the Wuyi Mountains today, a symbol of both rarity and distinction.

Crafted from meticulously rolled and lightly roasted leaves, Tea Palace's Da Hong Pao captivates the senses from the very first infusion. The tea’s smoky, nutty aroma is complemented by a rich, mid-brown liquor that sets the stage for the complex flavour profile. With each sip, a symphony of tastes unfolds, roasted nutty tones lead the way, followed by delicate cocoa undertones and the soft, sweet essence of peach, offering a tea experience that is as intricate as it is pleasing.

This exceptional oolong is a true reflection of the Wuyi Mountains' terroir, where traditional methods and a deep respect for nature converge to create a tea of unparalleled depth and sophistication. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of oolong, Tea Palace's Da Hong Pao promises a journey into the heart of Chinese tea culture, offering a rare and sublime experience with every cup.
