Medium Roast Other Wuyi Rock Teas

This oolong from Fujian, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This Wuyi rock oolong, made from the Yinfeng varietal, offers a delightful interplay of floral and honeyed notes, reminiscent of some Dancong profiles. It beautifully combines these aromatic qualities. It sits in the "Floral" and "Honey" and "Mineral" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans floral and honey and mineral.

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 Silver Phoenix 121 cultivar. After picking, the leaves received a medium roast, which shapes the final flavor.

Prices start at $11.50 through white2tea — that works out to about $0.46 per gram. A 25g package gives you roughly 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $2.76. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
