History and LegendThere is a widespread legend about the origin of Dahongpao’s name:It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, a person who went to Beijing to take an examination suddenly got sick when passing Wuyi Mountain. The monk of Tianxin Temple gave him a drink of rock tea and cured him of his illness. Later, the first person in the exam, in order to repay the kindness, returned to Wuyi Mountain to the emperor’s imperial gift of red robe on the tea tree, hence the name “Red robe.” After the red robe on the tea tree is uncovered, the tea leaves flash red in the sun, just like the red robe added to the body.

Dahongpao is not only a kind of tea, but also a card of Chinese tea culture. It combines the unique natural landscape of Wuyi Mountain, the exquisite craftsmanship of tea farmers and the long history of legends. Whether its profound “rock rhyme”, or its legendary story, let Dahongpao in the hearts of people who love tea occupies an irreplaceable lofty position. Nowadays, what we taste is mostly high-quality “matching Dahongpao”, which can also make people appreciate the unique charm of Wuyi rock tea.
