Wu Yi Yan Cha
A classic example
of the legendary "Cliff Tea" of Wu Yi. After harvest the long
tender leaves are hand-rolled and pan-fired at their aromatic peak to
arrest oxidation. Afterwards they are charcoal-fired in small batches
to produce the dark color and rich flavor that have made this oolong
one of China's most famous teas.
