Description: In the famous Wuyi Mountains winds the Nine Bend River, the homeland to the renowned Wuyi rock teas. Scattered about the steep high mountain cliffs, the tea plants reach deep into the mineral-rich soils, pulling up the nutrients while cool misty clouds keep the leaves succulent and tasty. This tea was fired at a hot temperature that compliments the high degree of oxidation of the tea leaves. The taste and aroma are very complex and the leaves can be resteeped many times.
