Medium Roast Other Wuyi Rock Teas

This oolong from Fujian, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This Wuyi Rock Tea presents a captivating aroma of stone fruits and delicate orchids. On the palate, it unfolds with a rich mineral character, sweet floral notes, and a comforting roasted depth, culmi. It sits in the "Mineral" and "Floral" and "Roasted" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans mineral and floral and roasted.

Aim for water around 85–95 °C (185–205 °F). Western style: steep for 3–4 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–30 s infusions (8–15 steeps) for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. Roasted oolongs can handle higher temps — don't be afraid of boiling water for heavy roasts.

This oolong is grown in Fujian, China and is made from the Qi Dan cultivar. This particular batch comes from the 2020 harvest. After picking, the leaves received a medium roast, which shapes the final flavor.
