Western Immortal Organic Big Red Robe (Da Hong Pao)

Long floral fragrance leads into a smooth, rich cup with a gentle sweetness and a refreshing finish. This is Da Hong Pao, the celebrated Wuyi Mountain oolong also known as “Big Red Robe.” Its leaves can be steeped repeatedly—the package recommends up to nine infusions.

A story behind the name tells of a Ming dynasty official who, after recovering from an illness, draped his scarlet robe over the tea bushes in gratitude. It’s a legend rather than a verified account, but one that has traveled with this tea for generations.

Western Immortal sources this organic rock oolong from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China. The package lists one ingredient: organic Da Hong Pao oolong.
