Wuyi Mountains, Fujian, China

This traditional oolong blend comes from tea bushes over 40 years old growing on the southern foothills of the Wuyi Mountains at approximately 300 meters.

The blend includes Shui Xian, Mao Xie and other cultivars. Harvested in May and June, the leaves are processed using classic northern Fujian oolong techniques: withering, oxidation, fixation, rolling, drying and refinement.
