Wuyi Mountains

The Wuyi Mountains in northern Fujian are a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most important tea-growing regions in history. This is where oolong tea was invented, and where Lapsang Souchong - the world's first black tea - was created. Wuyi yancha (rock teas) grow on rocky cliffs and ledges where mineral-rich soil and constant mist impart yan yun (rock charm) - a distinctive minerality with deep roasted complexity. The most famous yancha include Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe), Rou Gui (Cinnamon), Shui Xian (Water Sprite), Bai Ji Guan (White Cockscomb), and Tie Luo Han (Iron Arhat).
