The 3 characteristics of Wuyi Rock Tea Oolong, explained tasting Da Hong Pao

Join Gabriele and John as they explain the 3 characteristics of Wuyi Rock Tea Oolong, while tasting Da Hong Dao (Big Red Robe), the most famous Chinese Rock Oolong Tea from Wuyi in Fujian.
How does Wuyi Rock Tea taste?
The Rock Teas, aka Yan Cha, grow in the Wuyi Mountains, where the very characteristic terroir results in the mineral flavor-the Rock Taste-of these iconic Oolong teas.
The mineral texture, paired with the charcoal roasting and the intrinsic aroma of the leaves, creates that characteristic taste of Oolong Yancha, so appreciated among tea lovers.
In this video, we analyse in-depth the taste of Wuyi Rock Teas and explain how to recognise their leaves.

Yan chas are my favourite teas. Looking forward to the upcoming video on comparing different rock oolongs. :)

A friend of us, a tea farmer from China, says the every tea lovers favor different types of tea during their tea journey but those that have been dealing with tea long and deep enough end up choosing either Pu'er or Yan Cha as their favorite... and stick to it for the rest of the journey!
The comparative video between two yan chas will soon come your way... I think it is the one after the next.

The next time you go to the place, have them explain that there is no specific Da Hong Pao cultivar; Qi Dan (奇丹) or Bei Dou (北斗) are used, which are the only cultivars that derive from the propagation of the mother trees, or a blend of many different cultivars is created, including Shui Xian, and the customer should be told this. I drank the Fo Shou you mentioned as Tie Guan Yin and I don't think it has a historical tradition in the Wuji area, but I could be wrong.
