Updated Set Oct 2024!
A select single-serving set of eight remarkable cultivars, expertly aged and charcoal-roasted by the studio of Teamaster Ye Qitong. In Wuyi Shan, farmers rush to capitalize on the popularity of the Rougui and Da Hong Pao hybrids, replacing near-century-old trees with immature trees. Master Qitong strives to uphold the time-honored varietals of Wuyi's rich oral tradition and to protect the precious specimens that shape this exclusive collection. A superbly curated set to sample some of the most unusual teas hailing from celebrated Wuyi Mountain micro-regions creates an intriguing balance of orthodox roasting techniques and contemporary aesthetics that will linger in the memory. Each cup is as awe-inspiring and articulate as the last!
