Da Hong Pao – Big Red Robe Oolong Tea

Price range: Rp49.990 through Rp609.990

Da Hong Pao is one of the most celebrated Wuyi rock oolongs, originating from the rugged, mineral-rich mountains of Fujian. Crafted using traditional oxidation and charcoal roasting techniques, this tea is revered for its depth, structure, and distinctive yan yun—the resonant “rock rhyme” that defines authentic Wuyi oolongs.

The infusion brews a deep amber with layered aromas of roasted stone fruit, cocoa, warm spice, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, it is bold yet composed, offering toasted nuts, dried fruits, and caramelised sugar balanced by a firm body and lingering mineral sweetness. The finish is long, complex, and evolving with each sip.

Powerful and contemplative, this Da Hong Pao is best appreciated slowly, revealing its character across multiple infusions.
