China: Yellow Rose Huang Mei Gui 2024

黄玫瑰 “Yellow Rose” 

This hybrid cultivar is grown at a low altitude outside the central mountain gorge, using modern low-temperature roasting techniques. The initial low-temperature firing is followed by long drying over charcoal during the summer to caramelize the naturally abundant sugars and warm floral essence of this exceptional tea species.   

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.
