Plain oolong teaDescription
The "Da Hong Pao" tea is a prestigious tea from the renowned Wuji (Fujian) region. It belongs to the Yan Cha family and is the most famous "thé des rochers". These teas possess unique mineral flavours, coming both from the rocky mountain land and from the specific know-how of local tea farmers (few oxydization and several long roastings).
Its name ("big red dress" in English) comes from the bright red hue of the brewed tea, but also from an old Chinese story where the Ming Dynasty Emperor thanked 4 tea trees for curing his mother's illness by covering the tea trees with luxurious red pieces of fabric.
In China, this tea is served for respected guests you wish to honor.
