Wild Tea Qi Wild Rock Oolong Tea

November 4, 2013June 14, 2021 Post a comment
Wild Tea Qi Wild Rock Oolong Tea

Country of Origin: China
Leaf Appearance: dark, long and twisted
Ingredients: oolong tea
Steep time: 30 seconds
Water Temperature: 212 degrees
Preparation Method: porcelain gaiwan
Liquor: brassy gold

The liquor of this tea was such a beautiful brassy gold that I couldn’t resist snapping the Instagram picture below. Although the taste started off very mellow, the third infusion brought a sudden explosion of floral notes and a lingering sweetness. I wouldn’t quite call it earthy but there was a darker vegetal undercurrent throughout each sip. These leaves definitely had major staying power. I completely lost count of the number of rounds I went but that alone should tell you that it was a lot. If you are a fan of rock oolongs, I definitely recommend giving this one a try. +Wildteaqi  sourcing stories are one of my favorite parts of drinking their tea. This particular tea was grown by a small farmers collective in the Wuyi Mountains. Their teas are wild harvested from a bamboo forest. The village is home to less than fifty people and the profits are divided equally among the group. You can’t get much more fair trade than that!
