If you there's such thing as a 'legendary tea' then it must be Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe). This tea's name is based on legend in which a tea made from bushes in Wuyishan healed the ailing mother of the emperor. The emperor ordered servants to visit the bushes every year wearing red robes. To honor the tea bushes, the red robes were wrapped around them.

Our Da Hong Pao is characterised by an aromatic woody roast. It's naturally sweet and has this mineral flavour thats unique to Wuyishan.

This Big Red Robe tea is classified as Ban Yan (半岩), meaning that the tea leaves are originated from a tea garden in the vicinity of the Wuyishan Nature Reserve.

Looking to get into oolong tea? Our Da Hong Pao is the first tea you should taste.

A solid Da Hong Pao for those who appreciate character and depth

I ordered this Da Hong Pao looking for a high-quality, full-bodied tea, and it certainly delivered. When brewed in a clay teapot, it produces a truly rich, satisfying liquor: you get that classic cliff-roast profile, yet it remains smooth without any harsh bitterness.

For me, this is the perfect go-to tea when I need to clear my head or gear up for a workout—it provides a clean, focused energy without any jitters. The aroma of the leaves is deep, woody, and slightly chocolatey, which is incredibly pleasant the moment you add the hot water. This is an honest, high-quality tea that doesn't feel 'empty' at all. I definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates a proper, character-filled Da Hong Pao. Thanks, Teasenz, for a great product!

Da Hong Pao

The taste is balanced, the aroma is distinct but still delicate and pleasant, and the aftertaste is long and sweet.

Ho assaggiato tutti i vostri Oolong e il Da Hong Pao è il "Re"

Ho assaggiato tutti i vostri Oolong e il Da Hong Pao è il "Re"... non manca mai nelle mie scorte.
Fiorito, fruttato, legno e cereali. È un tè minerale con la giusta tostatura, solitamente lo bevo nei pomeriggi primaverili dove il sole ti fa contemplare la natura che si risveglia.
Una tazza tira l'altra e lo consiglio vivamente.. ribadisco "il nr.1 degli Oolong

Great Da Hong Pao

Nice taste. Not to intense. Not to bland. Great price.

Often these types of tea are either very bland or overwhelming.
This one tastes of a light roast, barley, malt, caramel.

Okay tea, burnt leaf

Well, I tried oolong samples first and then went to the bigger pack, and first time was a blast. Out of all producer farm oolongs that were offered, this one has the best flavor/smell ratio and gave the most. So I vent and ordered a bigger pack. Unfortunately after some practice I came to the conclusion that this tea comes lovely and aromatic in the beginning, but has taste of a flatter side and quickly fades away.

Also after examining tea base leaves are still black and hard that indicates that they are overly burned. While I cannot say that I am a big expert, that’s not the best sign.

So you either constantly putting more fresh leaves to get the taste and smell, or it is a tea for a short session. Half an hour, and you are done.

Thank you for your review, based on your feedback we've upgraded our Da Hong Pao grade, and made sure it lasts for more steeps.

excellent tea, I really love it, the price is very good, I'm a tea addict and I'm glad I found this online store

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.

When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.

Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
