Wuyi tea comes from the Wuyi Mountains in China and is famous for its oolong varieties. It is semi-oxidized, blending features of green and black teas, which gives it a unique, complex flavor profile with toasty, floral, and sometimes mineral notes. Wuyi teas are known for their rich aroma, smooth texture, and layered taste. They are traditionally prepared in multiple infusions, revealing different subtle flavors each time. The cultivation emphasizes high-quality leaves, often grown on rocky, mineral-rich soils, enhancing its distinctive character. Wuyi tea is appreciated for its craftsmanship, flavor complexity, and cultural significance in Chinese tea history.
