Description: This is a pinnacle-level Wuyi Rock Tea from the highly coveted Niu Lan Keng terroir. It delivers a striking and powerful cinnamon aroma, accompanied by a profound huigan (returning sweetness) and a remarkably lingering tea flavor.
When tasting this tea, you will experience the true depth of authentic rock oolong and the absolute mastery of traditional firemanship (Huo Gong / 火功). Through a meticulous, time-intensive process of repeated charcoal roasting, resting, and re-roasting, the complete essence and structural integrity of the tea leaves are fully unlocked. It possesses a potent Cha Qi (tea energy) that deeply warms the entire body—a genuine physiological resonance that should not be mistaken for the mere physical heat of the tea water.
Please note: Given its extreme rarity and benchmark quality, we list this tea primarily for serious tasting, experiencing, and learning about the highest echelon of Wuyi Yancha.
Brewing Tips (Gongfu Style):
-
Tea-to-Water Ratio: 1 bag (9g) per 110–120ml Gaiwan or Yixing teapot.
-
Water Temperature: 100°C (212°F) boiling water is essential to fully extract the roasted aroma and rock essence.
-
Steeping Time: Flash steep for the first 3–4 infusions (pour out immediately within 3-5 seconds). For subsequent brews, gradually add 5–10 seconds per infusion.
-
Infusions: 8–10+ times, with the flavor profile evolving beautifully through the layers of roast and base material.
