Shengtai Rougui 2023 More Roasted
28.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Xingcun Wuyishan
Shengtai means something like biodiversity. This style of farming is a bit different from the usual. In 2021, the farmer took what was a previously normal tea garden and decided to grow tea avoiding any kind of pesticides and herbicides, just letting the tea garden grow in a more “wild” way. The only product used is a fertilizer derived from rape seeds.
Rougui is one of the most beloved Yancha cultivars combining depth of flavor and aromatics that can change and reflect specific terroirs making each Rougui different. Rougui is always one of our best selling teas.
Shengtai Rougui 2023 is a smooth tea with nice cozy flavors being charcoal roasted 2 times. The excellent processing of this tea gives it intense and delicious roasted notes, without overwhelming the tea character letting the Rougui aromatics and complexity come out and linger in a nice and clean aftertaste.
A tea for any occasion for those who enjoy a more roasty Yancha.
We decided to offer this tea in two versions: this one has one extra charcoal roast. You decide what style you prefer.

Horse Pillow Rougui 2023 – Zhengyan
63.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Ma Zhen Feng, Zhengyan
This Rougui comes from the Zhengyan protected area of Wuyishan. Due to the impervious nature and small size of this area, the tea produced here is not a large amount. Zhengyan tea, especially Zhengyan Rougui, is highly prized because this terroir can give tea a special flavor called Yan Yun, a name that can be translated as the “melody of the cliffs”.
Some teas you can drink lightly, some are so rich and flavorful that you must give them all of your attention to absorb the complexity of the cup and slowly sip through them in a focused session. Just like you cannot eat a whole meal in a bite but need to savour it slowly.
This is one of those satisfying teas, a blend of complex flavors with a pronounced charcoal roast and the rich fragrance notes of Rougui enriched by Yanyun and cozy roasted depth, that sing the ecstasy of the soul and senses.
Recommended for experienced drinkers. We strongly suggest to save a cup from the very first infusion/rinse aside to drink as last at room temperature.

Yesheng Hongcha 2022
21.00€
Tea- Black Tea (Not Smoked)
Harvest – Spring 2022
Origin – Tongmuguan, Wuyishan
This tea was produced in Tongmuguan, a Unesco world heritage protected area where tea trees grow in a pristine environment, situated at a much higher altitude than other parts of the Wuyi mountains. The name Yesheng Hongcha meaning “wild growing black tea” as usual refers more to the style of cultivation that is not in the typical farm pruned rows but rather planted more sparsely and “left to grow”. These trees are not “wild plants”, they are tea trees but they adapt to the environment and produce irregular and ugly leaves with a quite an interesting flavor.
While famously the black tea from this area was smoked over pine trees (the original so called zhengshan xiaozhong/lapsang souchong), this version is produced from high quality material grown in this area but dried without smoke. As a result the tea has a very clean flavor expressing the character of Tongmuguan Xiaozhong. As a result it has a balanced taste with a very clean, delicate sweetness and a smooth and cozy mouth feeling. It is low in fragrance and a bit different in taste compared to most chinese hongcha/black tea. The tea soup is a lighter shade not deep red color. Its qualities are in the balance of flavor, subtle fragrance and soft mouthfeel.
