Yancha from the Wuyi mountains is one of the most classic tea cultivars from China. This tea, from the same cultivar, is produced in Taiwan, offering the characteristic "rockey" mineral taste, but with a softer mouth feel and a hint of spice. High oxidized and high fired, this is a robust tea with a complex finish.
