素心兰 2024 "Cymbidium"
Su Xin Lan is a classic Yancha varietal with a distinct floral flavor and scent. Its limited harvest and challenging cultivation have contributed to its rarity. Tea Master Qitong embraces these difficulties and showcases the exceptional result of using traditional medium-heat roasting to maintain the "purity" of its flavor, as it can easily be overpowered. Practicing restraint during roasting creates a harmonious complexity, reminding us why we were captivated by Rock Oolongs in the first place.
Since 2017, Ye Qitong, a well-known Intangible Cultural Tea Master, has been meticulously handcrafting our Wu Yi Yan Cha. With a careful selection of premium varietals grown in the Wu Yi Shan Gorge, the result is a collection of expertly-made Cliff Rock Oolongs, considered some of the most exceptional teas in China. These teas are distinguished by the age of their trees and the use of traditional charcoal-firing techniques.
