[2] Dry Da Hong Pao has a shape like tightly knotted ropes or slightly twisted strips, and is green and brown in color.

There are only 6 mother trees remaining on the stiff cliff of Jiulongyu (Wuyi Mountains), which is considered a rare treasure.

[10] One of the last batch of Da Hong Pao harvested and made from the mother trees has been collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

Among them, the most renowned recounts a tale from long ago about a scholar who fell ill while traveling to Beijing for an exam.

A monk from Tianxin Temple discovered him and prepared a bowl of tea made from leaves harvested from Wuyi Mountain.

After that, the tea trees were named Big Red Robe, which in Chinese pronunciation is Da Hong Pao.

Local people were required to worship Da Hong Pao using animals, flowers, and fruits before picking the tea leaves every year.

After checking and ensuring the quality, the Da Hong Pao was sent to Beijing and was received by Mao Zedong.
