Introduction: |
Da Hong Pao is the king of the Famous Five Rock Teas in the Wu Yi Mountain of China. This tea is legendary. Records of its existence date as far back as the early 18th century (Dao Guang Era). During Qing Dynasty, Da Hong Pao was entitled "King of Tea". In 1998, the Chinese government put it up for sale for the first time and was sold to a group of auctioneers for almost $900,000.This tea will lend itself to multiple infusions. Subsequent steepings will produce varied levels of floral and fruity nuances, suggesting peach and apricot. A light malty hint is noted in the finish.
