About Wuyi oolong tea
Meimei Fine Teas proudly presents its exceptional collection of Wuyi oolong teas, also known as Wuyi rock teas. Grown in the UNESCO World Heritage Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province, these teas are renowned for their rich complexity and deep cultural roots. Every leaf is handpicked from rocky cliffs and processed using centuries-old traditional methods that capture the essence of the mountain’s unique terroir.
Wuyi oolong teas, such as Da Hong Pao, are celebrated for their distinctive “rock rhyme” — a mineral-rich flavor that reflects the soil and spring water of the region. The teas are typically charcoal-roasted to perfection, resulting in a beautiful balance of roasted, floral, and fruity notes.
Beyond their captivating taste, Wuyi oolongs are known to promote digestion, focus, and mental clarity. Each cup is a reflection of Chinese artistry and heritage, offering both sophistication and comfort in every steep.
