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.
Da Hong Pao is famous of its strong “Yen” flavor (Cliff Rhyme) specially found in Rock Tea.
