Big Red Robe

Big Red Robe oolong tea — also called Da Hong Pao — is grown in the pristine and famous mountains of Fujian, China. It’s carefully nurtured and harvested using organic and sustainable practices. This ensures a pure and authentic taste that reflects the essence of its terroir.

Big Red Robe has a splendid floral fragrance. The liquor’s velvety smooth texture creates a luxurious mouthfeel adding to the overall enjoyment of the tea-drinking experience.

According to Chinese legend, a scholar became ill and used this tea to restore his health. Later, the scholar used this same tea to cure the emperor’s illness. 

The emperor gave the scholar a red robe which was a high honor. The emperor asked that the robe be draped over the tea bushes. The emperor commanded all officials passing through the area to drape their red robes over the tea plants as a sign of gratitude for the emperor’s recovery.

You can enjoy this exceptional tea hot or iced. If making an iced tea, we recommend using the cold brew tea method for a well-rounded flavor. Da Hong Pao is full-bodied and is best appreciated without the need for milk and sugar.

Big Red Robe tea is available in a loose-leaf tea canister with about 35 to 50 servings. You can steep each serving of tea 2-4 times and experience a variety of flavor profiles and strengths.
