Introducing our 2024 Great Taste Award-Winning Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea.
“It looks fit for a beggar, but it's prized by an emperor and has the heart of the Buddha”.
This Da Hong Pao is a full-bodied traditional Wuyi Rock tea (武夷岩茶 , the trade name Bohea in English), known for its long history and royal reputation. It's a heavily oxidised dark oolong which gives a delightfully rich infusion and a wonderful enduring flavour that is darker and deeper than our Tie Guan Yin oolongs.
The aroma lingers even after the seventh or eighth brew, representing excellent value for money. Da Hong Pao’s health benefits rank high among teas, full of antioxidants, vitamin C and amino acids all working to improve your health every day with every cup you take.
Just a few harvests are handcrafted each year, and they must be added to your Oolong collection!

How to Brew
- Use 1 teaspoon of leaves (roughly 3g) for each person you are brewing tea for.
- Boil your water and let it cool, it should be around 85 - 90 degrees (100degree water will scorch the tea)
- Steep for 2-3 minutes according to taste.
- Reuse the leaves a further 3 times, by simply adding more hot water.
This was my first order in this store and it was a test. Thank you, you have met my expectations. I am especially grateful for the compliment. I will continue to order tea from you.
Perfect tea good quality
Great taste very soothing
I recently bought three kinds of tea (Da Hong Pao, Long Jing, Tie Guan Jin) from The China Teapot and am obsessed with each one! They all came safely packaged and with kind notes from the team. Can’t wait to place my next order!
