Da Hong Pao, the king of the rocks, tastes the treasure of China's famous tea
Da Hong Pao, also known as rock tea, is a traditional famous tea in China, which belongs to the category of oolong tea. This is a type of Wuyi rock tea, produced in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian. The big red robe originated in the Ming Dynasty, and is said to have been given by a monk on Wuyi Mountain in the Ming Dynasty, and according to legend, it was given by an emperor in the Ming Dynasty. Da Hong Pao tea is picked from the rocks of Wuyi, so it is called "rock tea". The characteristic of rock tea is that the tea tree grows in the cracks of the stone, and is affected by the sun, air, rock and other factors, forming a unique "rock rhyme".
The big red robe is shaped like a tea leaf, with a fine texture and a bright color. The color of the processed tea juice is brownish-red, the soup color is dark red, and the color is light yellow. The big red robe is fragrant, with a special stone fragrance, soft in the mouth, and a long aftertaste. Tea is rich in tea polyphenols, amino acids, caffeine and other nutrients. It has the effect of antioxidant and anti-aging, can enhance the body's immune function, and has a certain protective effect on cardiovascular disease.
The picking period of Dahongpao tea is very important, and it is generally best in spring and autumn. The Dahongpao tea picked in spring is verdant, fragrant and mellow, and is known as the "best famous tea". The Da Hong Pao tea picked in autumn is more ripe, redder and softer.
Dahongpao has a low yield and high popularity, so it is also very high, and it is one of the five famous teas in China. Da Hong Pao is a kind of "king of stones" in Chinese tea culture, with high cultural implications. The red robe is often used as a gift or as a cup of tea, symbolizing nobility and taste.
Dahongpao is the main production area of Wuyi mountain tea in Fujian, and has a unique geographical environment for the cultivation of Dahongpao. The topography of Wuyi Mountain, fertile soil, humidity, rain, and cloudiness create an excellent environment for the growth of Dahongpao.
Da Hong Pao tea is usually grown in mountainous areas, at an altitude of 300-1000 meters. At such a high altitude, the tea plant receives more light, resulting in higher amino acids, polyphenols, and superior quality.
Da Hong Pao is a famous tea with a long history and unique flavor in China. The unique rock rhyme, rich fragrance, and smooth taste have always been welcomed by the majority of tea lovers. Whether it's savoring its special flavor or understanding its history and culture, you'll be fascinated by it.
