(Origin) Yanzi Village, Wuyi Mountain, Fujian; Spring 2024 (April)

Selected premium tea leaves from core "San Keng Liang Jian" rock areas in Wuyi Mountain. The unique Danxia landform and weathered rocky soil impart a mellow "Rock Rhyme" to the tea soup. The variety itself possesses an elegant orchid fragrance genetic predisposition, forming the foundation of its signature flavor.

Traditional Charcoal Roasting, Highlighting Orchid Charm

Strictly adhering to the traditional Wuyi Rock Tea craft of "observing the leaf to make the tea," moderate fermentation is used to stimulate the variety's orchid fragrance. Subsequently, pure charcoal fire slow-roasting allows the fresh orchid scent to transform into a more substantial, lingering aroma during the roasting process, integrating into the tea soup to achieve the characteristic of "fragrance falling into the water."

Rock Bone and Floral Fragrance, Serene Orchid Scent

The initial taste is mellow, sweet, and lively, with a prominent "Rock Rhyme" (mineral sensation) and a lingering aftertaste. The aroma is dominated by clear and pure orchid fragrance, running through the entire experience, accompanied by a ripe fruit sweetness brought by the craft, offering rich layers.

SENSORY JOURNEY

Dry Leaf Apprearance

The strands are tightly knotted and curved, with a dark, oily luster. Even the dry tea emits a subtle roasted fire scent and a faint orchid fragrance.

Liquor

The liquor ranges from orange-yellow to deep orange-yellow; it is clear, bright, and lustrous like flowing amber. As the infusion count increases, the color deepens and becomes increasingly oily.

Infusions

1st-3rd Infusions: The orchid fragrance is high and clear, the Rock Rhyme begins to emerge, and the taste is fresh and brisk. 4th-7th Infusions: The orchid scent sinks into the soup, blending with the ripe fruit aroma. The tea soup reaches its most full-bodied and mellow stage, with a powerful Rock Rhyme and rapid return of sweetness (Hui Gan). After 7th Infusion: The floral fragrance turns serene, dominated by a refreshing and sweet Rock Rhyme, with a long-lasting finish.

Wet Leaf Apprearance

The leaf bases are soft and plump, showing the characteristic "green leaf with red borders." They are dark and lustrous, showing elasticity after unfolding. A cold sniff of the leaf base still reveals a clear, elegant orchid fragrance and sweet notes, testifying to the rich substance and precise craftsmanship
