Da Hong Pao Big Red Robe Oolong Tea is produced in the Wuyi Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its unique terroir. Farmers carefully handpick mature leaves during the spring harvest, selecting only the finest quality leaves for processing. The leaves are withered naturally to reduce moisture, then rolled and twisted to release their essential oils.

The oxidation process follows, during which the leaves develop their signature rich flavor. Finally, the tea is roasted over charcoal multiple times, a step that requires precision and expertise to achieve the perfect balance of smokiness, sweetness, and complexity. This meticulous process, honed over centuries, ensures that each batch of Da Hong Pao embodies the mastery of Wuyi tea artisans.
