According to legend the mother of an emperor was cured by a tea, the Emperor sent robes of red to dress the bushes from which the tea originated. Hence the name.

It is a large open dark leaf with a lot flavour.

Top Quality Oolong
I have looked for a replacement for my favourite Phoenix Dancong (which is hard to source), and having tried many different oolongs, none really came close.
I have now found one. Da Hong Pao is as good as Phoenix Dancong, in my opinion. It has a really smooth taste, with a fruity flavour of peach and a slight toastiness. A fantastic tea, which holds its flavour even when brewed with boiling water.
