Da Hong Pao Red tea

Legendary oolong from the Wuyi Mountains – tea with a story, strength, and soul

Da Hong Pao is the crown jewel of Chinese teas – a red to dark oolong with a deep history, once drunk only by emperors and monks. It comes from the mist-shrouded rocky mountains of Wuyi in Fujian Province, where it grows wild on steep cliffs. Each leaf is saturated with the essence of stone, time, and tradition.

🌿 Profile and taste:

• 🔥 Roasted, earthy base – with notes of cocoa, roasted nuts, and minerals
• 🌸 Light floral notes – reminiscent of orchids or lilacs
• 🍯 Delicate sweetness – lingering like velvet on the tongue
• 🍂 Multiple infusions – each bringing new nuances and depth

🧘‍♂️ When to enjoy it:

• During your morning calm ritual
• During meditation or deep work
• In the evening – as a decadent, non-addictive relaxation drink

🫖 How to prepare:

1. Pour approx. 5–6 g into 150 ml of water
2. Pour hot water (90–95 °C)
3. Steep for 30–60 seconds (up to 6 times – each infusion reveals a different layer)
4. Ideally, prepare using the Gong Fu Cha method for maximum enjoyment

📜 Legend has it:

The tea was named after the red cloak that the emperor brought to the monk as a token of gratitude for healing him – the leaves of this tea came from his garden. And to this day, it retains this mystical power…

🍃 Da Hong Pao – for moments when you long for peace, strength, and depth in every sip.
