Yield of Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) 6 Mother Trees

You have a very good question. Before answering your question, let’s review a period of history. In 1972, there was an important event. President Nixon of the US visited China, which marked that the isolation between China and the US had finally been broken since the founding of New China. Chairman Mao sent President Nixon a gift at that time, which was the tea produced by these Dahongpao mother trees on Wuyi Mountain. But he only got 200 grams. Why are there so few? Because the six mother trees have an annual output of only about 400 grams in total.

Therefore, the tea produced by these six mother trees is not available to ordinary people. They are treated as the national treasure. Of course, people have already cultivated the varieties of Dahongpao tea plants, and derived different varieties, forming a huge commercial scale.
