Welcome to the realm of ekön tea, where we delve deep into the world of fine teas, exploring their rich histories, flavors, and cultural significance. Today, we invite you on a journey to discover the legendary Da Hong Pao, a variant of Oolong tea that is hailed as the King of Wuyi Rock Teas.
Unveiling the Majesty of Da Hong Pao
Da Hong Pao, or "Big Red Robe," stands as a testament to China's rich tea heritage. Crafted from tender, plump leaves cultivated from the storied Wuyi Shan Mountains, this dark oolong tea enchants with its stout, curled form and delicate orchid aroma. With each sip, experience a medium-bodied sweetness that lingers on the palate, leaving a trail of satisfaction in its wake.
A Glimpse into Tradition: The Origins of Da Hong Pao
Rooted in tradition, Da Hong Pao traces its lineage back to the six ancient mother trees that cling to the cliffs of Jiu Long Ke. Here, amidst the pristine tea gardens nestled high in the Wuyi Shan Mountains, the Da Hong Pao cultivar thrives, drawing nourishment from the rich soil and temperate climate. Plucked with precision during all four seasons, each harvest yields leaves of unparalleled quality, with the spring flush boasting the pinnacle of flavor and abundance.
Embracing Nature: The Wonders of Wuyi Shan
The allure of Da Hong Pao is intricately tied to its terroir—the majestic Wuyi Mountains. Here, a tapestry of Danxia landscapes unfolds, cloaked in mist and graced by clear streams and rivers. The mild, humid climate fosters the perfect environment for tea cultivation, while the mineral-rich soil imparts a distinctive "rock-essence" taste to each leaf. At an average elevation of 2,130 feet above sea level, our tea flourishes, embodying the essence of its mountainous home.
Oolong Express, a majestic journey in a cup!
This traditional oolong tea is carefully crafted to provide you with a truly satisfying experience. The combination of oolong tea and cocoa nibs boosts mental alertness, helping you conquer your tasks with ease. Meanwhile, the woody sweetness of cinnamon not only enhances the taste but also promotes healthy blood pressure levels.
With Oolong Express, you get to enjoy a tantalizing blend where flavors converge harmoniously. Savor the rich complexity as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, chicory, and cocoa nibs come together to create an invigorating and satisfying chai.
