'''Da Hong Pao''' (大红袍) is a prestigious [[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.
