Wuyishan Dahongpao Oolong Tea – Rock Tea King from Semi-Rock Core Region, Hand-Roasted Excellence, 112g

Known as the “King of Rock Teas,” Dahongpao is one of the four legendary Wuyi Yancha cultivars, grown in the heart of Wuyishan, where steep cliffs and mineral-rich soils create a uniquely ideal environment for rock tea. This exceptional tea is harvested from bushes aged 20–30 years, cultivated in the semi-rock zone of the Wuyishan core scenic area—a terroir famous for its towering stone walls, balanced humidity, and rich biodiversity.

This tea is crafted using traditional three-stage charcoal roasting, a technique that balances the tea’s vibrant liveliness with a full-bodied smoothness. The dry leaves exude an aroma of deep roast and floral warmth, while the brewed liquor glows a vivid amber-orange, like sunlight at dusk.

Dahongpao from this origin delivers a perfect fusion of roasted fire and floral elegance. Each sip reveals a deep, resonant body with a signature “yan yun” (rock rhyme)—a mineral-rich, lingering sensation that echoes in the throat. The taste is bold yet refined, with a distinct backbone like “bone hidden in the brew,” and the leaves open to reveal red-edged green leaf patterns, a sign of excellent craftsmanship.

Perfect for Gongfu-style brewing, this tea opens up fully with repeated infusions, offering evolving layers of toastiness, floral brightness, and depth.
