Chinese Famous Tea – Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe)

Da Hong Pao is usually also called Big Red Robe Tea. It is regarded as the king of Oolong among all the Chinese Oolong Teas and one of the China’s Top Ten Teas.

It is carefully made with exquisite handicraft. The finished tea appears to be tight and looks greenish brown. After brewed, the beverage is bright orange and clear. It tastes mellow and rich with a striking charm of rock. After drinking, an enduring aftertaste can be kept in mouth. It still remains fragrant even after being brewed nine times.

I did not quite understand – what exactly is a seed tree?

maybe the parent plants they use as a base to make other plants for this specific tea, either through planting its seeds? or cloning?
