Wuyi rock oolong, or "Yan Cha" in Chinese, is produced in the Wuyi mountain prefecture of Fujian province, China. The Wuyi mountain area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its abundance of species and rich history. Wuyi rock oolong tea is so named because of its geographic characteristics, and almost all of its rocky cliffs grow tea.  

This tea is crafted by master Yu's who has been making rock tea for three decades. It is very floral and fruity, full-bodied, elegant and balanced, with an underlying mineral texture. It has hints of roasted almond, peach and apricot undertones. It is overall a well-balanced tea with aroma, color, taste, and a smooth mouthfeel. An affordable delicious tea you don't want to miss.

Steeping Guide

It is recommend to use the Gongfu brewing method in order to get the most out of the tea. For grandpa style brewing, we recommend water temperature 212°F, 4g for 6 oz of spring/filtered water, adjust to taste, 0.5-1 minute,  6 steepings. We advise against the use of tap water as well as purified water. Also suggest to use porcelain or clay teapot instead of glass tea pot. 

Gongfu brewing guide:  

Use a gaiwan or Yixing clay pot to enhance the aroma and taste, usually 8 grams (3 tbsp) of dry leaves for 100 ml (3.4 oz) of water. When using gongfu brewing method, it is essential to warm up the brewing vessel so that the water temperature will not drop significantly before brewing. The recommended brewing time is 10s, 10s, 10s, 20s, 20s. You may add 5 or 10 seconds steeping time for each subsequent infusions.
