Among all Bohea teas, Dahongpao (Big Red Robe) has the best reputation. Dahongpao is a myth of Chinese tea. Since 2007, it has been stopped by the Wuyishan government to pick the tealeaves of the six mother tea trees in the Jiu Long Ke of Wuyi Mountain, so the "true" Dahongpao hasn't been produced since then. The superfine waishan Dahongpao Oolong was made of the more than 10 years old clones of the tea mother trees growing in the original Wuyi Yancha producing area (not the core producing area).
All of our Wuyi Dahongpao Yancha is baked extremely slowly by charcoal, and only available in the market in July every year. So the new Wuyi Dahongpao Yancha still has a little bit charcoal feeling in taste. As the tea breathe under the air, the charcoal aroma will disappear slowly and the tea's original taste and aroma will come out. |
