Qi Dan Da Hong Pao Wuyi Rock Tea Oolong Tea

Introduction:

This Qidan Da Hong Pao is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023. Sourced from the purest Wuyi rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian (the most authentic origin), the exceptional growing conditions and specific cultivar impart a truly authentic flavor profile. Crafted by master tea maker Chen Hai, who has decades of experience, this tea guarantees a rich, sweet aftertaste with a subtle osmanthus fragrance.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in the heart of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, where the average annual temperature ranges from 16°C to 25°C, the frost-free period lasts 253-272 days, and annual rainfall is around 2000 mm. The relative humidity is 78%-84%, and the acidic red soil, rich in organic matter and minerals, contributes to the unique flavor of Da Hong Pao tea trees.
• Pure Cultivar: The mother trees of Da Hong Pao grow on the steep cliffs of Jiulongke in the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. Due to their limited yield and exceptional quality, the purebred Da Hong Pao is propagated asexually from cuttings of these mother trees and processed separately.
• High-Altitude Tea Gardens: This tea is cultivated in high-altitude gardens in Wuyi Mountain, where the superior climate enhances the tea's richness, delivering a fuller, sweeter aftertaste and a more intense, lingering aroma with a pronounced "rock essence."
• Unique Roasting Process: Premium tea leaves are slowly roasted under gentle heat, developing a sweet fragrance with a subtle smoky undertone.
