Description
2012 Spring Dark Rock Wuyi Dahongpao (Dark Rope)
Oolong Tea
The emperor sent the symbolic red robes of nobility to the farmer who saved his wife, granting him land and status. In gratitude, the farmer named the tea Big Red Robe, and continued to climb the cliff each year to pick tea for the empress to remind her of their shared home in the Wuyi Mountains. This premium Dahongpo is grown on the rocky mountain in Wuyishan and every leaf is handpicked and delicately roasting this tea in bamboo baskets over charcoal embers to bring out the natural minerality of the Ancient Wuyi Shan.
The warm, chocolatey savory-sweet notes of Big Red Robe kick off each brewing session. The lovely mineral texture continues hand-in-hand with warm cozy flavor fora big, engaging texture throughout long brewing sessions.
