Wuyi rock tea, also known as Wuyi Yancha, is a type of oolong tea produced in the Wuyi Mountains of China. This tea is renowned for its unique flavor profile, which is influenced by the rocky terrain and mineral-rich soil of the region. The leaves are typically hand-picked and undergo a specific oxidation process, resulting in a rich, complex taste with floral and fruity notes. The production of Wuyi rock tea dates back several centuries, making it a significant part of Chinese tea culture. It is often categorized into different varieties, such as Da Hong Pao and Shui Xian, each with distinct characteristics. The tea is appreciated not only for its flavor but also for its health benefits, including antioxidants and potential digestive support.
