Da Hong Pao
trans. "Big Red Robe"
This tea is a variety of oolong and is produced in the northern part of Fujian Province, in the Wuyi Mountains. Currently, tea from these original bushes is no longer produced. However, in the early 20th century, Chinese authorities permitted the propagation of seedlings from old bushes for subsequent planting. Today, over 1,000 varieties of various bushes have been cultivated in the Wuyi Mountains. The most common are raw materials from two varieties: Rou Gui and Shui Xian. The government has authorized the name Da Hong Pao for tea blends made from these different varieties. Therefore, anyone wishing to purchase Da Hong Pao can choose a ready-made blend, created by a tea technologist at the factory, or, to their liking, blend their own Da Hong Pao and then enjoy its magnificent taste and pleasant aroma.
According to legend, a Chinese man named Ding Xian, who lived in the 14th century, was walking one hot day to take an exam to obtain an important rank when he suddenly lost consciousness. He was lucky, as a nearby monastery saw him and a monk brewed him a cup of tea. The young man came to and continued on his journey. He successfully passed the exam before the emperor, and did not forget his savior. In gratitude for the favor, Ding Xian presented the monk with his red robe embroidered with a dragon. This garment was a symbol of the power he had received. When the Buddhist monk, out of modesty, refused the gift, Ding Xian covered the tea bushes with his red robe, which healed him.
Another legend tells of incredibly intelligent monkeys that lived (and still live, and they are indeed quite clever) in Wuyi Mountain. Because the little ones were so smart, locals learned to train them to pick tea growing on the hard-to-reach cliffs. To prevent the little pickers from being accidentally caught for dinner by neighbors, they dressed them in little red robes. The tea was named after the robes.
Da Hong Pao is one of the most popular Chinese teas among tea lovers. Its history is steeped in legend, and its taste leaves no one indifferent. But it is most renowned for its unique emotional impact, as brewing it relieves nervous tension and simultaneously invigorates.

The aroma of dry tea leaves is rich and roasted. Burnt caramel, rye bread crust, and the embers of fruit trees are hinted at. After washing, the tea smells of rye crust, burnt sugar, and spices. The aroma is fragrant and rich.
The flavor of Da Hong Pao "Nong Xiang" is quite full-bodied, yet light and mellow. Sweet caramel notes, rye bread, and buckwheat honey are discernible. After the fourth steeping, the flavor takes on baked-fruity undertones, with a pleasant tartness. The tea lasts for eight full steeps. To prepare the infusion, use 5 grams of tea per 150 ml Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan.
The infusion is dark amber in color, clean and clear. The aftertaste is long, with spicy and caramel notes.
This tea warms the entire body, calms, and relaxes. Drinking it clears your head, promotes conversation, and lifts your spirits.

This Chinese cliff tea is produced in the northwest of Fujian Province, in the Wuyi Mountains. It is classified as a strong fermentation oolong. Da Hong Pao (大红袍, Da Hong Pao, Big Red Robe, DHP, Da Hongpao) is one of the most famous Chinese tea varieties, along with such teas as Pu'er, Tie Guan Yin and Long Jing. But in terms of the number of legends and myths surrounding both the tea itself and its name, it is probably in first place. However, this does not mean that the closest to the truth story of the origin of the name of this tea has been lost.

The Wuyi Mountains, and shan, as is known, is translated as "mountain" or "mountains", are located on the border of the provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi. This is a mountain range located on an area of about 1000 square kilometers. The highest point is Mount Huanggangshan, 2158 meters high, which is included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, both for cultural and natural criteria.
