What Is Da Hong Pao Tea?
Known as the “Big Red Robe,” Da Hong Pao is a legendary oolong tea grown in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province, China. It is often referred to as the king of rock teas due to its:
-
Partial oxidation (between green and black tea)
-
Smoky, floral, and toasted flavor notes
-
Mineral-rich finish from its rocky terroir
Its reputation for depth and complexity makes it a fitting foundation for a truly sophisticated milk tea.

-
Whole Da Hong Pao tea leaves, freshly brewed
