Tea History and Legend

According to legend, 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 Mount Wuyi and reportedly dates back to the Song Dynasty, still survive today and are highly venerated.  At one point, less than one kilogram of tea was harvested from these plants each year, of which a portion was retained by the Chinese government.  In 2005, the remainder of this original and real Da Hong Pao was auctioned, with an initial asking price of 4000 RMB/100 g, but often reaching tens of thousands to millions of dollars per kilogram.

The Da Hong Pao Tea has been older than a hundred years and has become the rare treasure.  The six huge tea bushes have been protected by the nation.  It was allowed to pick every spring before, but this has been forbidden since 2006.  Nowadays people use asexual reproduction has been successfully developed hundreds of acres with the seed tree features the same characters of Da Hong Pao Tea.  As long as having the same characteristics of the female characters, whether it is a second generation, three generation or even 20 generations, has the same varieties significance as the female.  Therefore, all from the original reproduction of suckling tea are really Da Hong Pao Tea.
