Yu Qilin is a high-sweetness rock oolong tea from China’s world-renowned Wuyi nature preserve. It possess a characteristic Wuyi-shan mineral-driven profile with strong toasty and nutty undercurrents. Highly warming and comforting, it would make an ideal brew for a cool Fall day or summer evening.

Teas from Wuyishan are highly sought after; the pristine and mineral-rich soil in which they grow, as well as the rich artisanal tradition which has developed around their crafting and consumption has led them to be considered one of China’s most famous teas. Because of the aggressive roasting that goes into creating these teas, it is best to let them rest for at least one year before consuming them. These teas may also be aged in dark and dry conditions in order to improve their flavor.
