An elegant Wuyi Rock Tea with a refined character and balanced profile. The dry leaves give a floral, peachy fragrance opening up to reveal a smooth, rounded tea soup with complex fruit notes - white peach, apricot, apple and fig notes take you through the infusions, balanced with a gentle minerality, soft feel and natural sweetness that lingers - a true expression of authentic Wuyi terroir.Â
