Dahongpao – Zhengyan Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea 28g

Zhengyan Da Hong Pao from Zhuke in Wuyishan is a traditional Wuyi rock oolong known for its strong mineral character, layered roasted aroma, and smooth, complex body. Often called the “King of Tea,” Da Hong Pao is one of the most famous Chinese oolongs and is highly valued for its signature Yan Yun “rock rhyme.” This tea is ideal for experienced tea drinkers, roasted oolong lovers, and anyone who enjoys rich mineral teas with depth, warmth, and long-lasting flavor.

The aroma is deep and elegant, with notes of floral honey, roasted nuts, ripe fruit, and warm wood. The fragrance rises steadily from the cup and lingers softly in the throat. The tea liquor is smooth, robust, and layered, with a rich texture balanced by a clean mineral finish. Roasted nut notes blend naturally with floral sweetness and subtle fruity tones, creating a complex and satisfying tasting experience. The finish is mellow, sweet, and long-lasting, with the distinctive rocky character that defines authentic Wuyi cliff tea.

This tea is traditionally handcrafted using classic Wuyi rock tea processing techniques. The leaves undergo withering, shaking, fixation, rolling, partial oxidation, and careful charcoal roasting. The charcoal roasting deepens the tea’s body and enhances its roasted, mineral-rich character while preserving floral complexity and natural sweetness. Traditional craftsmanship and balanced roasting are essential to creating the signature harmony of “rock essence and floral fragrance” treasured in Wuyi oolong culture.
