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 Tie Luo Han displays the characteristic 'burnt bamboo' flavours and aroma exhibited by this varietal. The leaves have had medium oxidation, with medium/strong charcoal. The tea is exceptionally pure & smooth. Due to the level of the roast, there is a slight drying sensation in the finish, inducing saliva. This will balance over the next few months. The qi is very pleasant, and the liquid is almost effervescent in the mouth, lingering pleasantly on the edges of the tongue.

Uplifting with an excellent aftertaste Review by Andrew
The aroma is light and creamy. The taste is likewise smooth and medium in thickness. The aftertaste is very bright, and exhibits more fruitiness and a stronger mouthfeel than the initial taste, as well as being persistent throughout the infusions. The qi is strong, very uplifting and energetic. (Posted on 04/02/2012)
