Representative of Wuyi Rock Tea – Da Hong Pao

Da Hong Pao (大红袍), translated as Big Red Robe, is one of the most representative Rock tea. The origin of its name comes from a legend – In Ming Dynasty, a scholar was sick when he was on the way to attend the Imperial Exam and luckily he was cured by drinking the Tea from Wuyi Mountain, he then also used this tea to cure the emperor’s illness. The emperor recovered after drinking the Tea and rewarded the scholar with a red robe (which is an honor like the trophy at that time) and asked the scholar to put the red robe on the tea tree. After that, the tea trees were named Da Hong Pao, which means Big Red Robe.

The six mother Trees of Da Hong Pao still exist on the cliff of Jiu Long Ke in Wuyi Mountain, but it is not allowed to be harvested anymore since 2007. Even though it is impossible to drink the mother tree Tea anymore, there are two kinds of Da Hong Pao commonly found in the market (1) Commodity Da Hong Pao and (2) Purebred Da Hong Pao. The Tea here is Commodity Da Hong Pao, a kind of blending Tea combining the advantage from different Tea. It is very fruity, mellow and full of rock rhyme.
