China: Eight Immortals Ba Xian 2024

八仙 2024 “Eight Immortals”

Grow in Banyan (outside the central gorge at lower elevations) in an ecological tea garden. The trees of this unique varietal are about 45 years old and were roasted slowly with charcoal at lower temperatures to optimize the signature aromatic qualities. It is a very light roast, with large, beautiful leaves and a deep floral essence that leaves you longing.  

Since 2017, Ye Qitong, a well-known Intangible Cultural Tea Master, has been meticulously handcrafting our Wu Yi Yan Cha. With a careful selection of premium varietals grown in the Wu Yi Shan Gorge, the result is a collection of expertly-made Cliff Rock Oolongs, considered some of the most exceptional teas in China. These teas are distinguished by the age of their trees and the use of traditional charcoal-firing techniques.
