Da Hong Pao Qi Dan

Da Hong Pao Qi Dan is an exceptional rock tea. Da Hong Pao means “big red robe” and there are many legends about the origin of it. According to a legend, the mother of a Ming dynasty emperor was cured of an illness by this tea, and that emperor sent great red robes to clothe the four bushes from which that tea originated. Da Hong Pao is by far the most famous of all rock teas. Of course, it can be repeatedly infused like all high-quality rock tea.

Wuyi rock tea

The almost inaccessible tea growing area makes industrial production virtually impossible and so this tea is still picked by hand. The manufacturer also produces out of conviction purely biological. This is also promoted by the government since Wuyi Shan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it should remain like this. The Wuyi mountain range stretches at an altitude between 200 and up to 2058m and have a mild climate with an average temperature of 21°C.

Production in Wuyi has a thousand years of tradition and the historical knowledge about the art of tea is passed down from generation to generation. This especial type of tea is grown by the family of Chen Wuyi Shan and thanks centuries old knowledge processed into a oolong of it’s own class. So it’s no surprise that recently two teas of the Chen family won the first place (with Rou Gui) and also the second place (with Shui Xian) in the Wuyi Yan Cha Championships. The Chen family produces it’s teas very traditionally: The tea is dried and withered in baboo trays and finally roasted over charcoal fire in bamboo baskets.

Through stronger roasting (compared with Taiwanese Oolong) is this Wuyi Yan Cha durable and especially suitable for connoisseurs who prefer to store and mature special teas.
