The naming of each tea leaf has a story.
The origin of the name of da hong pao should start from a show, and this show is not ordinary. Legend has it that during the Jinyang period, a poor xiucai went to Beijing to take the exam, and on the way through Wuyi Mountain, unfortunately fell ill and was saved by the old abbot, and this person made a cup of tea for him to drink. After thanking him, Shangjing went to the high school entrance examination, came back to thank the person who saved him, one spring day, Zhuangyuan came to Wuyi Mountain Xie'en, accompanied by the old abbot, to Kowloon, but saw three tall tea trees growing on the cliffs, spitting out a cluster of young buds, shining purple in the sun, very cute. The old abbot said that last year you suffered from bloating, that is, you used this tea to make tea and drink it to cure it.
This tea, whenever the spring tea tree sprouts, it will beat the drum to gather the monkeys, put on the red pants, climb the cliff and then pick the tea leaves, stir-fry and collect, drink can cure all diseases. Yuanyuan listened to the request to make a box to pay tribute to the emperor. The next day, the temple burned incense, lit candles, beat drums and bells, summoned monks of all sizes, and marched to Kowloon. The crowd came to the tea tree to burn incense and prayed in unison, shouting "Tea sprouts!" "Then the buds and leaves are picked, made in a fine workmanship, and put into a tin box.
After Bringing Tea into Beijing, He encountered the Queen's stomach pain and swelling, and she was bedridden. Zhuangyuan immediately offered tea for the empress to take, and sure enough, the tea was eliminated. The emperor was overjoyed, and handed a big red robe to Zhuangyuan and asked him to go to Wuyi Mountain on his behalf to seal the reward. Along the way, the salute was loud and the candles were bright, and we reached kowloon, and a woodcutter climbed up the mountainside and draped the big red robe given by the emperor on the tea tree to show the emperor's grace. Strangely enough, when the Da Hong Pao was lifted, the buds and leaves of the three tea trees flashed red in the sunlight, and everyone said that this was the Da Hong Pao dyed red. Later, the people called these three tea trees "Da Hong Pao". Someone also carved three big characters on the stone wall: "Da Hong Pao". Since then, the Big Red Robe has become a tribute tea for many years.
