Ming Yan Tea Co., Wuyishan, Fujian
This oolong is one of four main branches of rock teas found in Northern Fujian. Of particular note, this one is classified as a "Gao Cong" or "Tall Tree Type" meaning that it is picked from a well-established tea bush.
Grown from Wuyi’s mountainous and mineral rich rock (yan) soils, this Tall Tree Water Fairy oolong is favoured amongst locals for its depth of flavour and ability to withstand multiple infusions. Of note, it has a magical combination of some of the most treasured rock tea fragrances - it is at once woody, floral and fruity
