Big Red Rope is one of China’s most famous rock teas (Wuyi Yancha), originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province. It has a long history, dating back to the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644). According to legend, Big Red Rope got its name from a story where a scholar was cured of an illness by the tea before his imperial exams, and in gratitude, he draped a red robe over the tea bushes. Big Red Rope is esteemed as the “King of Tea” for its unique aroma and flavor.
