Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea – Da Hong Pao
loose leaf | oolong
From: $20.95
Da Hong Pao is known as the “King of Tea” and is one of four famous bush varietals. The plucking season begins after Guyu in mid-April, when shoots of three or four open leaves are picked by hand.
Our Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) has dark, strong, twisted dry leaves that possess a complex, fruity, and toasty flavor. When brewed, the liquor is clear and bright orange.
This oolong tea tastes clean and mellow with a rich aroma of orchid and a note of nectarine. The sweet aftertaste is long-lasting with no off-aromas. It is famous for its essence of rocks (“Yan Yun,” or “cliff rhyme”).

My favorite. Well balanced taste with great aroma
Quality of the tea is out of my expectations! Very nice tea!
Highly recommended! It has such a smooth taste and a long-lasting aroma.
I really enjoyed this tea and it was one of the better Da Hong Pao’s I have consumed. The dry aroma was quite roasted and dark, having an almost char-like note sticking around as well. As I brewed the tea, some sweeter tones came through with an almost acidic feeling on the nose. The first thing I noticed about this Da Hong Pao was a specific note of slightly roasted, like a wet wood almost but also a specific cinnamon note. I haven’t been able to find a Da Hong Pao with that characteristic cinnamon note before, so I am happy I have this one!
Solid Dahongpao! There are so many different types of Rock tea. It takes a lot of drinking experience to tell which ones are good. This one is a really solid one if you want to learn what a decent Dahongpao tastes like. Very hard to find this level of quality tea outside of China!
I am a oolong tea drinker. This rock oolong is my tea for the weekend with family. I recommend this one if you like strong oolong tea.
