From the studio of Master Huang, like all of his teas, this Wuyi Yancha (rock oolong) comes from trees growing naturally deep within the protected area of the Wuyi scenic reserve.
This tea has been given medium strength charcoal roast and medium oxidation. The tea is thick and rich in the mouth, coating the mouth and throat. There is a very slight drying effect, from the roast, which will balance and evolve over the coming months (Jan 2012). The flavour is of rich, mature fruits, with an aftertaste that sits nicely on the breath, evolving over the minutes after drinking
The leaves are exceptionally strong & thick

Elegant and strong Review by Andrew
The aroma is reserved and roasty. The taste is sweet, cool and smooth with a fruity and slightly musky finish and a raisin flavour in the aftertaste. The tea is very cooling, elegant and refreshing with a reserved fruitiness and a medium-high thickness. The qi is strong from the beginning and is powerful and forceful rather than calming.
