Qilan

Rich and Aromatic Wuyi Rock Tea with Fruity and Spiced Notes.  This oolong tea offers a deep, layered taste with notes of dried fruit and a subtle cinnamon-like sweetness.

It belongs to a special category of Chinese tea known as Yancha, or Wuyi Rock Tea – named after the steep, rocky cliffs of the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China.

Wuyi oolongs are famous for their signature mineral-rich taste, combined with intense aroma and long-lasting aftertaste. These teas are never mass-produced: the growing conditions are unique, and the traditional processing takes time and skill.

Harvested in spring (April–May) and only ready for sale in autumn, Wuyi Rock Teas are among the most sought-after and rewarding oolongs in the world.
