Premium Chinese Wuyi Rock Tea Xueli Foshou Oolong Yancha Wuyi Mountain Wulong 50g

What is it "Xueli Foshou" Wuyi Rock Tea?

1. "Foshou" (Buddha's Hand) is the name of the cultivar.
   The "Foshou" cultivar originated in Yongchun County, Fujian, and is an ancient tea variety. It was named "Foshou" because its large leaves resemble the palm of the Buddha (or the shape of the fruit also known as "Buddha's Hand").                                   This is the fruit (Buddha's Hand) Fo Shou 佛手                                                                                 
2. Later, this cultivar was introduced to the Wuyi Mountains. Nourished by the region's unique Danxia landforms, weathered rocky soil, and mountain climate, it developed a distinctive flavor profile characterized by "Rock Rhyme" (*yanyun*) and became one of the renowned cultivars of Wuyi Rock Tea.                                                                                                                              

The name "Xueli" (Snow Pear), on the other hand, primarily describes the flavor profile. High-quality Wuyi Foshou tea—especially when crafted using traditional Wuyi Rock Tea techniques (particularly the roasting process)—exhibits an incredibly captivating and highly distinctive pear, Snow-Pear skin—sweet yet not cloying, and delightfully refreshing aroma and taste.                                               (Traditional Chinese dessert- Rock Sugar Snow Pear(steamed Pear with Rock Sugar)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Where is this Foshou Xueli Oolong from?

Soil advantages: The raw material tea garden of this tea is located in the Zhengyan Mountain area of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province. Zhengyan tea land (purple gravel rock): represented by the famous three pits and two streams (Hui yuan keng, Da keng kou, Niu Lan keng, Liu Xiang Jian, Wu Yuan Jian), as well as Hui Yuan Yan, Tian Xin yan, Ma tou yan, Zhu ke, Jiu long ke, San yang feng, Shui lian dong, etc. The soil contains a lot of gravel, reaching 24.83%-29.47%, with a thick soil layer, loose soil, and a porosity of about 50%. The soil has good air permeability, which is conducive to drainage. The rock valley is steep, the sunshine is short in summer, the cold wind is blocked in winter, the valley bottom seeps water, and the surrounding vegetation conditions are good, forming a unique "tea soil" for Zhengyan tea. The soil layer is thick, rich in potassium and manganese, the soil acidity is moderate, and the soil is mostly gravelly. These advantages are very conducive to the growth of tea trees, so the tea fragrance is unique and high, and the tea leaves contain more substances. 

Tea craft:  light to medium baking level. This oolong tea is made using the traditional charcoal roasting technique of Wuyi Rock Tea Yan Cha. The tea is roasted for many hours slowly over real charcoal fires.
