Юнчунь Фо Шоу

Юнчунь Фо Шоу — редкий улун из высокогорья уезда Юнчунь провинции Фуцзянь. Его название происходит от формы листьев, напоминающих руку Будды, и яркого фруктового аромата.

Легенда гласит, что в XVII веке буддийские монахи привили чайное дерево к цитрону, создав этот уникальный ароматный сорт. Этот чай, произрастающий на высоте 600–900 метров над уровнем моря в деревне Уси, недалеко от охраняемого региона происхождения, отражает как богатую историю, так и характер высокогорья.

Он известен своими характерными цитрусовыми и грушевыми нотами, оттенёнными сливочным, слегка цветочным послевкусием. Вкус мягкий и многослойный, с длительным сладковатым послевкусием, которое часто называют «очарованием Фо Шоу». Этот чай — спокойный и насыщенный выбор для ценителей фруктовых, элегантных улунов.

Wuyi Shui Xian is one of the most famous varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea. Alongside Rougui, it is famed for the saying: “No tea more mellow than Shui Xian, no tea more fragrant than Rougui.” It combines the classic rock character with rock rhyme and a rich, full-bodied liquor. Originally introduced from Jianyang during the Qing Dynasty, Wuyi Shui Xian places great emphasis on tree age: as the trees grow older, the tea becomes more mellow, with reduced bitterness and increasingly complex layers of flavor.

This Wuyi Shui Xian is made from fresh leaves of tea trees aged 30–50 years and roasted using traditional Wuyi charcoal methods. The liquor is rich and full-bodied, moderately intense with a slight astringency, a clear and lasting sweet aftertaste, and a subtle woody fragrance. The texture is smooth and refined, offering depth and complexity that invites slow, mindful tasting.

Wuyuanjian is one of the core Zhengyan producing areas of Wuyi Rock Tea, belonging to the famous “Three Pits and Two Ravines,” and is one of the two ravines. The area is shrouded in mist throughout the year, nourished by flowing streams, with a humid climate and soil rich in fine sandy gravel and minerals. Lush vegetation and this unique terroir together give birth to outstanding Wuyi Rock Teas. Among them, Rougui and Shui Xian from Wuyuanjian are especially prized for their rich fruity notes, elegant orchid fragrance, and full-bodied taste.

The Wuyi Rougui from Wuyuanjian reveals a clear and vivid cinnamon aroma at first, followed by subtle layers of orchid, woody undertones, and even a refreshing hint of mint. The fragrance is pure, distinctive, and lingers gracefully. The liquor is smooth and delicate on the palate, gradually unfolding into depth and the signature “rock rhyme.” Compared to Rougui from Niu Lan Keng, Wuyuanjian’s expression is softer and more refined—ideal for tea lovers who seek a fresh, elegant style.
