Light roasted
Grown in a pristine UNESCO site, this prized Rock Tea is lightly roasted, allowing its elegant floral fragrance to shine through.
Why we love it:
- It's lighter than most Rock Teas (oolong teas from Wuyishan) with a floral fragrance, hence its name.
- It's harvested from plants that grow on the cliffs of Wuyishan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Fujian, where mountain streams flow over rocky terrain, feeding the soil and the plants with minerals, and giving the tea a distinctive minerally flavour.
- It's charcoal roasted, adding a hint of toastedness without overshadowing its fruit and floral notes.
- It's grown near the cliffs of the Hui Yuan Monastery and produced by a pioneering women-led farm.
