I was perusing the website of our friend Howard the ad-troll of
"Dai Hong Pao is a very impor-tant Wuyi Oolong whose name comes from the fact it helped cure an owner of a Large Red Robe which was hung on the bush, hence earning it the name. Originally there were 4 bushes growing on a rock on Mount Wuyi, 2 of which still survive today and are harvested for a few kilograms each year. This original and real Da Hong Pao can fetch tens of thou-sands of dollars per kilogram but people have taken cuttings and cultivated genera-tions of Da Hong Pao plants which provide a more affordable Da Hong Pao that you are likely to find in many places."
It particularly intrigued me that it was in fluent English. Anyway. I googled "cure an owner of a large red robe" and found the following on wikipedia:

Now wikipedia is open-source, and you're allowed to copy it, and many do, but I still think this is sleazy.
