Big Red Robe AKA Da Hong Pao, is the soothingly smoky poster-child of Wuyi Mountain oolongs, earning the nickname "King of Rock Teas". Born in mineral rich, rocky cliffsides, and fabled to have cured the grave illness of a Ming Emperor's mother, it's famous for representing the depth of dark roasted & high oxidation oolongs. Yields an earthen brew with a lasting minerality - satisfyingly full-bodied and hearty.

This one's our personal favorite! Especially when needing to get intense work done. Not as overbearingly smoky as pine-roasted Lapsang, but deeply toasty & mellow-sweet in a way that hits the spot for Dark Roast coffee and Dark Chocolate lovers.

We find our Red Robe Oolong grants a solid boost of energy and steady mental focus like Matcha - surprisingly calm & controlled - but without the jitters of coffee & energy drinks.
