'''Dà Hóng Páo''' ([[wiktionary:大红袍|大红袍]]|p=dàhóng páo|l=Big Red Robe) is a prestigious [[Mount Wuyi|Wuyi]] [[oolong]] tea.  It is a premium variety of the ''Wu Yi Yan Cha'' (武夷岩茶, ''Wuyi Rock Tea'') group of oolong. According to legend, the mother of a [[Ming Dynasty]] emperor was cured of an illness by a certain tea, and that emperor sent great red robes to clothe the four bushes from which that tea originated. Three of these original bushes, growing on a rock on [[Mount Wuyi]] and reportedly dates back to the Song Dynasty, still survive today and are highly venerated.  Known for its highly expensive value, Da Hong Pao can sell up to 30,000 US dollars per kilogram.

One (possibly apocryphal) story claims that in 1972, US President Nixon received 50g of Dà Hóng Páo, at the estimated cost of 250,000 US Dollars in 2011 money.
