Da Hong Pao (大红袍), or “Big Red Robe,” is a famous Chinese oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian province. It’s known for its deep, roasted aroma and complex flavor, often featuring notes of dark chocolate, toasted nuts, stone fruit, and a lingering mineral sweetness called *yan yun* (rock rhyme). Traditionally roasted over charcoal, Da Hong Pao is prized in gong fu tea brewing for its rich body, evolving taste over multiple infusions, and strong connection to Wuyi’s rocky terroir. #china
