Da Hong Pao is an important Wuyi Oolong tea. Legend has it that 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 Wuyi Mount and reportedly dates back to the Song Dynasty, still survive today and are highly venerated.
