Hong Cai Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea embodies a refined tribute to the original mother trees, grown in the same Jiulongke (Nine Dragons Lair) grounds that gave birth to the legendary Da Hong Pao. Through patient, small-batch farming and time-honored processing, Hong Cai preserves the ancestral profile while offering a controlled, limited harvest for discerning palates. The dry leaves are neat, tightly wound strands with a slight twist in a deep chestnut hue, a testament to artisanal selection and quiet craftsmanship.

The aroma is elegantly restrained—orchid and osmanthus whispers mingle with a subtle minerality, growing more pronounced as the cup cools. The liquor glows orange-gold and bears a natural oiliness that hints at maturity. Infused leaves emerge amber-brown, supple and glossy, retaining vitality across multiple infusions. This is a timeless, collectible tea for those who seek provenance, subtle luxury, and enduring flavor. A limited-release that honors a venerable lineage, designed for deliberate appreciation, careful storage, and memorable moments of ceremony.
