Yu Garden Tea
Yu Garden Tea
Rock oolong from the Wuyi cliffs other than Da Hong Pao — the cultivars the local growers drink themselves, rotated by season and by what the year gave. Charcoal-roasted in the traditional way, so the cup runs dark and savoury: burnt sugar, dried apricot, orchid behind the roast, and the wet-rock minerality the Wuyi calls yan yun, rock rhyme. Which cultivar is in the jar changes through the year; ask at the counter and we will tell you what is open.
In Chinese this is written 武夷岩茶 and pronounced wǔ yí yán chá.
