The Legacy of "Wuyi" Brand: This "Classic Flavor" continues a lineage dating back to the 1980s. It was then that the Wuyishan Tea Science Research Institute successfully cultivated and produced finished Da Hong Pao through asexual reproduction from the original mother bushes. The "Wuyi" (武夷) trademark, one of the earliest registered for Wuyi teas, quickly became synonymous with authentic, high-quality Da Hong Pao. Commercial packaged Da Hong Pao under this brand was launched in 1985, becoming a long-standing, sought-after product of the Tea Research Institute. In 2003, WuYiStar Tea Co., Ltd., a national key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization, acquired the esteemed "Wuyi" brand, proudly continuing its rich heritage.
