Southern Fujian （Minnan）Oolong Tea: A Flavor for Every Era

1. Origins (Kangxi Period, Qing Dynasty)
Anxi is the birthplace of Minnan Oolong tea. During the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi period, a Yongchun monk grafted Anxi tea plants with native citron trees, creating the unique Yongchun Fo Shou tea, known for its distinctive fruity aroma and mineral depth.

2. Golden Age (from Qianlong to Xianfeng Periods, Qing Dynasty)
In the 18th century, Minnan Oolong entered its golden age. Wang Shiran from Anxi discovered a rare tea tree and made tea from it, which was presented to Emperor Qianlong. The tea was named Tie Guan Yin, due to its "iron-like weight" and "Guanyin-like shape." With its bold flavor and growing demand in Southeast Asia, it became a major export tea.
In the Xianfeng period, Anxi tea farmers selected and cultivated the  Huang Jin Gui. Known for its osmanthus-like fragrance, it became a symbol of Minnan’s high-aroma Oolong teas.

3. Transformation (Late 19th to Early 20th Century)
To meet the needs of overseas markets, Minnan tea farmers developed Mei Zhan and Da Ye Oolong. Meanwhile, Zhangping Shui Xian evolved its unique "square tea cake" shape, becoming the only compressed Oolong tea.
Mei Zhan: Noted for fruity sweetness and strong infusions
Da Ye Oolong: Known for its thick texture and caramel notes, great for blending
Zhangping Shui Xian: Complex fragrance with intertwined orchid and osmanthus notes, smooth and refreshing taste.

4. Innovation (Beginning of the 20th century)
As technology advanced, Minnan Oolong entered a new era.  In the 1980s, Pinghe County discovered Bai Ya Qi Lan, celebrated for its crisp orchid aroma.

Unique Crafting Characteristics:

• The fermentation level is typically between 10% and 25%, making it a lightly fermented Oolong tea.
• The repeated rolling and wrapping for the Shaping process is a key feature that distinguishes Minnan Oolong from other Oolong teas, shaping its unique appearance.
• Multiple rounds of slow roasting at low heat are used to enhance the tea's aroma.
• The leaves undergo multiple cycles of shaking and resting to achieve the perfect balance of "three reds and seven greens" in the leaf base.

How to Brew Minnan Oolong?
1. Choose the Right Teaware
White porcelain gaiwan – Best for lightly oxidized, lightly roasted oolongs, as it preserves delicate floral notes.
Yixing clay teapot – Ideal for richer, heavily roasted or charcoal-roasted oolongs, enhancing depth and smoothness.
2. Water Temperature Matters
Use boiling water (100°C / 212°F) for full aroma and body.
Water below 90°C (194°F) results in weaker flavor and muted fragrance.
3. Tea-to-Water Ratio
7–8g of tea for a 110ml gaiwan (about ⅓ full).
Standard ratio: 1:15 (tea to water)—adjust based on preference.
4. Use the Right Water
Soft, slightly alkaline spring water or purified water is best.
Avoid tap water with high mineral content, as it can mute the tea’s natural flavors.
5. Preheat Your Teaware
Rinse the gaiwan and cups with boiling water before brewing.
This warms the vessels and prevents temperature shock, allowing the aroma to bloom fully.
6. Wake Up the Tea (Rinse Infusion)
Pour boiling water over the leaves and immediately discard (within 10 seconds).
This removes any impurities and "wakes up" the leaves for optimal flavor release.
7. Proper Pouring Technique
Pour water gently along the inner wall of the gaiwan.
This helps the leaves unfurl evenly and enhances the fragrance.
8. First Infusion Timing
7–15 seconds for the first steep:
Lightly roasted teas need a shorter steep.
Heavily roasted teas can steep slightly longer.
9. Subsequent Infusions
Increase steep time by 5–10 seconds per infusion.
High-quality oolong can last 7–10 brews, with longer-lasting flavor in premium-grade teas.
10. Drain Completely Between Steeps
Always pour out all the liquid after each infusion.
This prevents oversteeping, which can lead to bitterness or astringency in later brews.

To explore how aging changes the flavor of tea, we selected five traditionally charcoal-roasted Minnan Shuixian teas from Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory—vintages from 1994, 2004, 2014, 2020, and 2024.
This tasting journey reveals how time transforms the rich character of Shuixian oolong. Let’s experience the evolution together.

Flavor Evolution (For Reference)

2024 (New Tea):
Dominated by natural orchid aroma with a touch of charcoal roast. The fragrance is bright and long-lasting — when brewed with boiling water, the rising steam carries a rich floral note. The tea leaves a clear, lingering aroma in the cup. The taste is full-bodied, smooth, and sweet, with richness but no bitterness. It delivers a strong returning sweetness and a long, lingering finish. The liquor is robust yet not overly stimulating.
5-Year Aged (2020):
Orchid aroma fades, charcoal notes retreat. Hints of ripe fruit begin to emerge, along with a touch of fresh woodiness. A light acidity appears, but the tea still stimulates salivation. The overall taste becomes smoother, though slightly thinner in complexity.
10-Year Aged (2015):
Acidity lessens. Aged notes (like dry wood) blend with faint traces of orchid. The freshness is gone. The liquor becomes silky, and the returning sweetness shifts toward a rock sugar-like softness.
20-Year Aged (2005):
Dominated by aged aromas (sandalwood, herbs). The liquor turns amber, thick and rich like rice soup. The aftertaste is deep with a medicinal undertone.
30-Year Aged (1995):
A complex blend of aged and herbal notes (like ginseng and dried citrus peel). The liquor is thick, smooth, and almost oily. Sweetness is subtle and refined, with a long-lasting aftertaste reminiscent of aged liquor.

How to Brew?
Teaware:
For fresh tea, use a gaiwan or Yixing teapot.
For teas aged 5–10 years, use a Yixing teapot.
For teas aged 20+ years, use an old Yixing teapot or a coarse clay pot for boiling.
Water Temperature:
Fresh tea: 95–100°C
Aged tea: 100°C
Tea-to-Water Ratio:
1g tea per 20 ml of water
Awakening the Tea:
For teas aged 5–10 years: open the bag and let the tea breathe for about 5 minutes before brewing.
For teas aged 20+ years: open the bag and let it air out a day in advance.
Steep Time
Rinse First:
First infusion: quick 3-second rinse, discard — this is to warm up and awaken the tea.
2nd to 4th infusion: 8–15 seconds
From the 5th infusion onward: increase time by 5–10 seconds per brew
For Aged Tea (20+ years):
Can be boiled directly or brewed in a teapot for 10 infusions before boiling.

What Makes Guangdong Oolong Tea So Special?

1. A Long and Rich History
Guangdong’s tea-making traditions date back as early as the Song Dynasty. By the late Ming and early Qing periods, Oolong tea processing techniques were introduced to Guangdong, marking the beginning of its unique Guangdong Oolong tea history.

• Initially, Fenghuang shuixian and Shiguping Oolong were respectively made from the mother plant of Guangdong Oolong Tea (Fenghuang shuixian group species) and the small-leaf shrub tea trees cultivated in the She ethnic village.
• In the early 20th century, premium cultivars like Mi Lan Xiang (Honey Orchid Aroma) and Ya Shi Xiang (Duck Shit Aroma) were selected from the Fenghuang Shui Xian group spcies.
• In 1962, Lingtou Dancong was created in Lingtou Village, Raoping Town, Chaozhou, using a natural mutation of the Fenghuang Shui Xian group species known for its pronounced honey fragrance.
• In the 1970s, Xiyan Oolong emerged in the Xiyan Mountain region of Meizhou, combining Lingtou Dancong and Qilan cultivars to create a tea known for its high-mountain aroma.

2. Unique Craftsmanship

• High-quality fresh leaves are handpicked from single tea trees and processed individually.
• The fixation step uses a high-temperature, rapid method to lock in the tea’s fresh aroma and active compounds.
• The shaking process emphasizes evenness and multiple rounds to enhance the transformation of aromatic substances.
• Extended light fermentation develops a fuller, more transparent floral fragrance.
• Roasting is typically done at medium levels or low levels, with adjustments based on the tea’s aroma type and cultivar. The goal is to preserve the fresh aroma while adding body to the tea liquor. Roasting is carried out gradually in stages, avoiding damage to the aroma from sudden high heat.

Rare Wuyi Rock Tea Cultivars: Hidden Gems from the Core of Zhengyan

While teas like Da Hong Pao, Rou Gui, and Shui Xian have become well-known representatives of Wuyi Rock Tea, the rare cultivars—such as Tie Luo Han, Bai Ji Guan, Shui Jin Gui, and Ban Tian Yao—tell a deeper, more authentic story. These teas originate from wild, heirloom tea trees that have grown for centuries in the heart of the Wuyi Mountains, shaped by natural selection and careful cultivation. They embody the original genetic heritage of Wuyi rock tea.
Grown on remote cliffs and craggy ledges in the Zhengyan core production zone—places like Guidong Cave and Sanhua Peak—these tea trees sink their roots deep into rocky crevices, drawing in rare minerals. The result is a flavor profile marked by the elusive and unmistakable "Yan Yun" (rock rhyme) that connoisseurs revere.

Each rare cultivar delivers its own singular flavor experience:
Bai Ji Guan offers a light, sweet corn silk aroma.
Tie Luo Han reveals warming, herbal notes reminiscent of angelica root.
Ban Tian Yao stuns with an exotic bouquet of gardenia, milk, and honey—complex and unforgettable.
Their scarcity only adds to their mystique. For example, Ban Tian Yao yields less than 100 pounds annually. Yet despite their low production, these cultivars have a devoted following among seasoned tea drinkers and collectors. One standout, Rui Xiang, is prized as a “secret weapon” in premium blends for its piercing, long-lasting aroma. 

These teas are more than just flavor—they’re living cultural heritage.
Bai Ji Guan has Taoist roots.
Shui Jin Gui is tied to legends of a golden tortoise seeking justice.
Tie Luo Han was once a top export to Southeast Asia.
In an age of mass production and standardized flavor, these rare Wuyi cultivars offer a bold alternative: complexity, character, and a deep connection to terroir. Their resilience—thriving in shade and drought—also holds promise for future tea breeding.
As local tea farmers say, “Rou Gui represents today, but the rare cultivars lead us into tomorrow.” Exploring them is like reading a living encyclopedia of Wuyi Rock Tea—each sip a page from nature’s own archive.

How to brew these teas?

• Core Principles
  Teaware: Use a porcelain gaiwan (best for aroma) or Yixing clay teapot (enhances richness).
  Water: Filtered or spring water (avoid hard water). Temperature: Boiling (100°C/212°F) for medium/heavy roasted teas; 90-95°C (194-203°F) for light roasted teas.
  Ratio: 1:20 tea-to-water (e.g., 5g/3.8oz tea for 110ml/3.8oz water).
• Brewing Steps
  Warm the Teaware: Rinse cups and teapot with hot water to unlock aromas.
  First Rinse: Pour boiling water over leaves and discard immediately (awakens tea).
  Brewing:
  Short Steeps: Start with 5-10 seconds for the first 3 infusions.
  Gradually Increase: Add 5-10 seconds per subsequent steep.
  Avoid Oversteeping: Prevents bitterness.
  Pro Tips for Westerners
  Flavor Clues:
  "Rock Essence" (Yan Yun): A mineral aftertaste like wet stones—sign of quality 
  Cold Cup Test: Smell the empty cup after sipping. True Wuyi teas retain alpine herb/plum notes 
  Fix Bitterness: Reduce steeping time or use cooler water (88-90°C).
  Pairings: Dark chocolate (for heavy roasts) or lemon tart (for light roasts).

A semi-fermented oolong tea grown in the rocky crevices of Fujian’s Wuyi Mountain, renowned for its unique "rock bone floral aroma" (Yan Yun). Only tea cultivated within Wuyi City’s protected region can bear this name. Other areas (e.g., Anxi) do not produce Rock Tea.
This collection features the three most iconic Wuyi rock teas—Da Hong Pao, Shuixian, and Rougui—along with their key variations. You’ll taste the difference between blended and purebred Da Hong Pao, young and old Shuixian trees, and core vs. semi-core Rougui. A guided journey into the depth and complexity of Wuyi rock tea.

How to Start with Wuyi Rock Tea?
