According to legend, the mother of a Ming dynasty emperor was cured of an illness by a certain tea, and that emperor sent great red robes to clothe the four bushes from which that tea originated. Six of these original bushes, growing on a rock on the Wuyi Mountains and reportedly dating back to the Song dynasty, still survive today and are highly respected. 

Da Hong Pao grows defiantly in the gaps of the mountain boulders, which endow it with the highly prized 'yan yun' taste. Da Hong Pao offers rich aromas of roasted vegetables, sweet honey, and earth. Delicately spicy, robust and rounded texture, with pit-fruit flavors and subtle ripe peach juiciness.

A truly thought-provoking cup.  $15 - 9 packets are included.
