Passing through Wuyi Mountain, he collapsed with severe abdominal pain. A monk from Tianxin Temple brewed him a tea from the cliff-side garden. The pain stopped. He passed the examination. He returned, removed his crimson ceremonial robe, and draped it over the tea trees in gratitude. The tea became Da Hong Pao, the Great Red Robe.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe emperor eventually heard the story. He sent his own red robe. He declared the tea a royal tribute. He posted guards to protect every leaf.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe trees on that cliff still exist. This is what grows in the same soil, tended by the same tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Tasting Experience\u003cbr\u003e\nDa Hong Pao is the foundation stone of Wuyi yancha, the rock oolongs, and it carries that responsibility with the calm authority of something that has been significant for a very long time. The fragrance opens with chocolate and dried raisin, deep and sweet. Then comes ashy warmth, the spice of nutmeg and pine needle, the cool mineral thread of sandalwood and rock. Tobacco and liquorice weave through the later steeps like threads in old cloth.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe yan yun, or rock rhyme, is what distinguishes a true yancha from everything else. A mineral coolness that spreads through the back of the throat and lingers. Smooth, multilayered, entirely unhurried.\u003cbr\u003e\nCharacter Mild, stable, trustworthy. A tea that feels like a wise companion.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpiritual Character Warm and neutral.\u003cbr\u003e\nBrewing Guide Tea-to-water ratio: 4g per 200ml Water temperature: 100°C Steeps: 10 or more\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 50g | Vintage: 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tea by yuan","offers":[{"title":"2024","offer_id":58404752130435,"sku":"OL-RT-DHP-2024-L-50","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/3781\/5683\/files\/2023dahongpao1.jpg?v=1783411432","url":"https:\/\/www.teabyyuan.com\/products\/da-hong-pao-oolong-tea","provider":"tea by yuan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
