Wuyi Yancha

Wuyishan is one of China’s most iconic tea landscapes – a UNESCO-listed mountain range in northern Fujian, cut by steep red cliffs, misty valleys and the winding Nine Bend River. For centuries, tea has been at the center of life here: monks, farmers and merchants carved terraces into the rock and developed highly refined processing for Wuyi rock oolongs (Yancha) and some of the world’s first black teas.

The terroir is defined by mineral-rich rocky soils, dense subtropical forest and a humid, misty microclimate. This combination produces teas famous for their “rock bone, floral fragrance” (岩骨花香) – a structure and depth that feel etched into the leaf, layered with roasted, fruity, and floral notes. Today Wuyishan remains a benchmark region for complex oolongs like Da Hong Pao, Shui Xian, Rou Gui, and for distinctive black teas, with countless micro-gardens and family roasteries clustered in and around the protected scenic area.
