## About Da Hong Pao

Da Hong Pao is the “champion” of Wuyi rock teas. It grows in Jiulongke in northern Wuyi Mountain, where only four bushes remain, making it extremely rare and precious. Jiulongke is a gorge fed by seeping spring water. The Da Hong Pao grows at an elevation of more than 600 metres, where streams tumble over rocks and clouds drift through the air. The cliff wall bears three vermilion characters reading “Da Hong Pao.”
