Lion Mount Shuixian 2020 – Zhengyan
36.00€
Tea – Shuixian, Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2020
Origin – Lion Mountain Peak, Zhengyan
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.
Coming from a very nice area in the protected scenic area known as Zhengyan, this medium roasted tea brings intense flavors that evolve during the session. It comes from normal Shuixian bushes giving it a clear Shuixian character that is enriched by the terroir notes of so called yanyun. The first brews especially are some of the more complex and layered with yun and, as usual, we recommend saving a bit of the very first infusion to drink at room temperature at the end. As the session progresses the intense shuixian aromatics emerge with a more floral and sweet finish.

Tiger Style Rougui 2019 – Zhengyan
55.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2018
Origin – Bai Yun Si, 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.
Tiger Style Rougui 2019 has a bright Yanyun and an intense, complex flavor with a sweet aftertaste and smooth but rich body. Everything that Zhengyan tea should be. We do not recommended this tea to inexperienced Yancha drinkers who are not familiar with the flavor of Rougui.
As usual we recommend to save a cup from the very first infusion/rinse aside to drink as last at room temperature. This will make the Yanyun flavor most clear and end the session on a high note.

Huangguanyin 2019 – Fragrance
12.00€
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2019
Origin – Xingcun, Wuyishan (Banyan)
Huangguanyin is a cultivar that is becoming more and more popular every year thanks to its powerful aromatics filled with green notes and florals. Some describe it as having also a milky aroma.
Huangguanyin Fragrance 2019 was processed lightly with minimal baking to showcase in full the cultivar character and the fragrance naturally present in the tea leaves. A bright day of spring in a cup with a refreshingly light and aromatic infusion.
*As a note this tea is unrelated from the huangguanyin 2018, different tea, different flavor and price even if the naming might be confusing.

Vintage No.1
100.00€
Tea – Aged Yancha Wulong
Origin – Unknown
We don’t know which cultivar was used, how it was processed and not even when it was made. The only information we were able to get about this tea was that it has been fired 10 times over the years. However we think precise information doesn’t matter much, tasting the tea fills us with rich old tea flavor.
It’s a quite calm tea, very comfortable to drink and a great example of roasted yancha aging. The over 10 roasts give this tea plenty of flavor. Boiling this tea is strongly recommended if not almost mandatory and will bring out all the tea flavors warming you up for many brews.
Due to the extremely brittle leaves as a result of the multiple roastings, leaves might are more broken. This is normal and still makes delicious tea.
Drink now or keep sealed to age even further.
Price is for 85 g.
