Da Hong Pao
A celebrated Wuyi rock-tea name used for historic mother-tree tea, cultivar-labelled products and commercial blends. The name alone does not identify one plant lineage.

Character#
Roasting shapes the balance of grassy, floral and fruity aromas. The cultivar material and the maker’s choices produce different expressions of Da Hong Pao, rather than one fixed tasting profile.

Names and ambiguities#
When picking of the mother trees stopped
The National Museum of China records that picking of the mother trees stopped in May 2006. It received 20 g on 10 October 2007, from tea harvested on 3 May 2005. The cessation, harvest and museum accession are three different dates.
Two different geographic protections
'Wuyishan Da Hong Pao' (certification mark, 2001) covers a production area inside the scenic area, bounded by named peaks. The broader 'Wuyi Yan Cha' GI (2002) covers all of Wuyishan City and lists Dahongpao as one of its five product categories. A tea can therefore be a legal 'Da Hong Pao' under one framework without meeting the narrower one.
Notes#
Blending is a deliberate craft#
In its practitioner account, Qiyuan describes choosing component teas to balance a finished commercial Da Hong Pao, including avoiding a component whose aroma overwhelms the blend. That is one maker's approach, not a fixed recipe or evidence that every Da Hong Pao contains the same cultivars.
Roasting can reveal fruit and flowers#
In a controlled Da Hong Pao study, longer charcoal baking reduced grassy notes and brought floral and fruity aromas forward. Roasting does more than add a toasted flavour. The result describes the study’s material and conditions, not a universal rule that a longer roast is better.
