Beschreibung HERKUNFT UND ERNTEZEIT Fujian, Mount Wuyi, 2025, China CHARAKTER Distinctive character and depth: cumin, pepper, white-fleshed peach, cinnamon, dark chocolate, lychee, clove, and spring flowers. Middle roasted, yet impressively full-bodied, this tea remains enjoyable through 15–20 infusions. The leaves unfurl to a green color, reflecting both the refined processing and the gentle roasting. The beauty of this tea comes from its unique terroir. The weathered rock provides mineral-rich soil, while the tea gardens stretch out beneath the cliffs on sunny slopes, producing rich raw material. There is plenty of both aroma and flavor, so the processing was carefully chosen to preserve the fruity minerality without intensifying bitterness through excessive roasting. Strong rolling initiates oxidation, rounding out the sweet, peach-like notes, while the roasting is kept just sufficient to soften the tea’s tannins. In oolong production, craftsmanship begins already at the cultivation and processing stages. In Taiwanese high-mountain gardens, Japanese cherry trees are planted among the tea bushes; they bloom just as the buds emerge, enhancing the fragrance of the tea. In the roasting of Dancong and Wuyi teas, different types of charcoal and ash are layered so that the heat does not scorch the leaves, but gently warms them—allowing the rock character and roasted notes to come into perfect balance. Der Wuyi-Berg ist eines der ältesten und historisch bedeutendsten Teeanbaugebiete Chinas. Das felsige Terrain liefert Tees, die reich an Spurenelementen und Mineralien sind, von außergewöhnlicher Qualität. Wie Lu Yu in seinem Teebuch aus dem 8. Jahrhundert schrieb, wachsen die feinsten Tees zwischen den Felsen, die mittelmäßigen gedeihen auf kiesigem, sandigem Boden und die schwächeren in gelber Erde.
