Big Red Robe, otherwise known as the Tea King, is the most famous of Wuyi’s “Four Famous Bush” (Si Da Ming Cong) teas. The three other teas which make up the collection of “Wuyi’s Four Famous Bush” teas are referred to as Shui Jin Gui, Tie Luo Han and Bai Ji Guan.
Wu Yi Da Hong Pao in dry leaf form consists of dark, mostly erect tea leaves yielding a subtle fruity aroma and a hint of chocolate fragrance. The first infusion creates a pleasant orange brew with a unique fruity, slightly smoky, sweet aroma. The taste is rich and smooth emitting a subtle fruity aftertaste. An aromatic, sweet flavor lingers on the tongue well after the last sip. Our Wuyi Da Hong Pao is a calm but uplifting tea.
