Description

Don’t be confused, this is not a Wu Yi Rock Tea from mainland China, but instead a unique varietal that was brought to Taiwan around 200 years ago. Until today it is difficult for us to tell which exact varietal was brought from Wuyi region of China back then, so this varietal has earned its unique name to commemorate its origin ─ “Wu Yi” as a result.

It tastes similar to Fujian Wu Yi Rock Tea and yet remains uniquely Taiwanese in processing and character.
