Da Hong Pao is one of the most famous "Rock/Cliff" teas (Yan Cha) from the beautiful WuYi mountains of Fujian Province in Eastern China.
With roasting and sorting finishing mid 2023, our wonderful tea has now hit it's straps. The roast has relaxed, allowing the deep fruit leather and savoury notes to find balance with charcoal and minerality of the terroir. Generous and slow to reveal it's secrets,it will steep, steep and steep.
Try some soon, you won't regret it..!!
