One of China’s most revered and highly sought after teas is Da Hong Pao, also known as Empress Oolong, Rock Oolong, Wuyi Oolong and Big Red Robe Oolong. This tea is grown in the beautiful Wuyi mountains of Fujian Province, a nine peak mountain with vast rocky fingers pointing to the sky. The high altitude and rocky, fast draining terrain make it the only place to grow true Empress Oolong.
