According to legend, 1385, in the 18th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Ding Xian, the son of Juzi, went to Beijing to take the exam. When he passed Wuyi, he suddenly fell ill and his abdominal pain was unbearable. He happened to meet a monk in Tianxin Yongle Temple. The monk took his tea and drank it with him, and he recovered.

I came to thank the monk and ask about the origin of tea. When he learned that, he took off his Dahongpao and circled the tea bushes three times, hence the name "Dahongpao". The champion took Dahongpao out of the tin can and brought it back to Beijing.

Toad back refers to the phenomenon that after Wuyi rock tea is brewed, the bottom of the leaves is sandy green with frog skin-like bubbles and sandy white spots on it. The leaves are not smooth, but they look rough, like the back of a toad.
