Shengtai Shuixian 2023
19.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Xingcun, Wuyishan
Shuixian is one of the most popular cultivars in Yancha. The leaves of Shuixian are slightly bigger than most yancha varieties and it is considered to have a soft and comfortable character combined with nice aromatics.
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.
This Shuixian is very nice to drink, with a sweet roasted aroma that starts from the dry leaves and keeps going in the cup. The mouth feel is smooth and light and the roasted notes blend well with the tea character with a mildly sweet finish. The flavor is very balanced without any off flavor making an elegant and tasty tea good for any occasion.

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.

Yanyun Tasting Box
70.00€
Rou Gui is one of the most popular yanchas and for good reason. It’s considered the best cultivar to express the so called “Yan Yun” flavor, “the melody of the cliffs”, a special flavor that tea grown in certain terroir of Wuyi mountains acquire.
The richness of flavors of Rougui makes its taste vary a lot depending on terroir and processing. Here in this box there are samples of Rougui teas from different locations of Wuyishan and different production style. This box can be used as a discovery tool for those who want to better understand what is the Yanyun flavor or be like a nice collection of extremely good teas to taste.
If you are looking to discover the yanyun flavor I strongly suggest to get at least one can of Rougui 2021 to drink as a reference of a clean Rougui flavor. To compare that one with any of these is in our opinion the best way to understand these teas. If it’s all a bit confusing and bizarre remember that this box is just a taste, the more you drink the more clear yanyun flavor will be.
The selection and price of the box varies depending on availability so check this page before buying.
We recommend to save the very first brew of these teas to drink as last when cooled down, this way the yanyun flavor become the most obvious and easy to see.
