WHITE COCKSCOMB FROM WUYI MOUNTAINS
This tea is one of a kind. True ceremonial tea requires a special attitude and teaware to appreciate all the nuances. I hope you have a yixing teapot, or at least a gaiwan, to do it properly. I recommend following all Gongfu Cha steps to appreciate all the nuances. It's worth it to use quality water and boil it over the fire.
ORIGIN
Wuyishan is an ideal place to grow tea. The volcanic limestone soil in the mountains of WuYi contains the perfect combination of minerals and the deposits necessary for growing tea bushes, as well as the indispensable sun and rain. But one thing is scientific information about the soil and the environment, another is the almost tangible power of the spirit of the Wuyishan mountains.
WuYi has been a place of religious concentration for over a thousand years. For Taoists, Buddhists, and Confucian WuYi continue to be the most important place of stay. The excellent and incomparable soil, climate and energy of the WuYi mountains are reflected in the taste and aroma of rock tea. "The magnificence of the WuYi mountains - cliffs, flowers, a crystal river, the earth, the sky and the divine spirit - so naturally and neatly unfolds in a cup of good rock wulong".
ORGANOLEPTICS
