The legend of Da hong Pao “Big Red Robe” is possibly the most famous. The legend goes that Shen, a servant of the court was near death while on a quest for the emperor. The sickened Shen was given a tea made from 6 tea bushes located on the side of a cliff by the monks who had cared for him. Almost miraculously, after drinking this tea, Shen regained his strength and was able to return to his emperor. Two years passed and the emperor also eventually become gravely ill. Fortunately, Shen was given a small tin which contained the same tea which had cured him by the same monks who had cared for him – he brewed it for his dying emperor and it saved his life. The emperor was so grateful that he wanted to thank the WuYi monks personally and he provided the monks of the monastery a symbol of his gratitude – red robes made of the finest materials.
