Da Hong Pao offered by Sazen Tea is a premium version of the traditional Chinese oolong tea, originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province. This tea is renowned for its bold character and distinct mineral profile.

The version provided by Sazen Tea comes from the 2020 harvest and is distinguished by its rich, full-bodied flavor and pronounced aromas of roasted grains, caramel, and warm mineral undertones. The leaves are carefully fermented and repeatedly roasted using traditional methods, resulting in a complex flavor structure that evolves through multiple infusions.

For optimal preparation, it is recommended to use water at around 95 °C and a short steeping time (20–30 seconds), allowing for multiple brews in which the tea reveals its layered fruity and floral notes. Sazen’s Da Hong Pao is ideal for those seeking authenticity, depth, and a meditative experience in every cup.

The tea is made from the Qi Dan cultivar, a variety traditionally used as the foundation for high-quality expressions of this legendary beverage.
