Da Hong Pao Wuyi Rock Oolong
大红袍 (Dà Hóng Páo)
China's most mythologized tea: mineral-roasted rock oolong with charred plum, orchid, and lingering 喉韵 (throat rhythm).
Da Hong Pao ("Big Red Robe") is a heavily roasted oolong from ancient rock crevices of the Wuyi Mountains. The rocky "yan" mineral soil infuses the leaf with a distinctive rock mineral character (岩韵 Yányùn).

That is 55 mg in a 4 oz Gongfu serving serving — a concentration of 46.6 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
