In the vast world of Wuyi Rock Tea, the mellow taste of Shuixian and the pungent spiciness of Rougui have long been regulars in tea lovers' cups. While most people's attention is focused on these mainstream varieties, some niche teas hidden among the "rock bones and floral aromas" are quietly gaining popularity with their unique charm. Today, Tongxinshe Teahouse brings all tea enthusiasts a rare and fine tea from the core secret region of Wuyi Mountain——Lotus Peak Huang Qi, inviting you to savor this "golden flavor" hidden in the rock crevices.
The rarity of Lotus Peak Huang Qi first stems from its irreplaceable origin. It only grows on the rock cliffs of Lotus Peak within the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area, at an altitude of 600-800 meters. Here, the area is crisscrossed by rock walls, and the soil is mostly weathered rocky gravel, which has excellent air permeability. Coupled with the perennial mist surrounding the mountains and the significant temperature difference between day and night, it creates unique conditions for tea trees to accumulate flavor substances. What's more special is that the tea trees in the Lotus Peak area mostly grow in symbiosis with wild vegetation, requiring little manual intervention. This natural growth state endows the tea leaves with a fresh and lively "mountain charm", and every piece of fresh leaf carries the most authentic "rock rhyme" of Wuyi Rock Tea.
If the origin is its "character", then the aroma and taste are the soul of Lotus Peak Huang Qi. The dry tea leaves are tight, plump and sturdy, with a color of dark green tinged with golden brown. A light sniff reveals a blend of sweet gardenia fragrance and honey aroma; unlike the strong intensity of Rougui, it lingers gently around the nose like a breeze blowing through a flower bed. After brewing, the tea soup presents a clear and bright orange-yellow color, and the lid aroma is even more layered——the top note is a fresh orchid fragrance, the middle note turns into a mellow ripe fruit aroma, and the afternote leaves a faint rock texture, with distinct yet harmonious layers. The first sip brings a sweet and smooth sensation, free from the strong stimulation of traditional rock teas; instead, it wraps the tip of the tongue with soft mellow sweetness. As the tea soup slides down the throat, you can clearly feel the sweet aftertaste and throat rhyme brought by the "rock rhyme". The production of saliva is quick and long-lasting, and moments after swallowing, there is still a lingering fragrance in the mouth, even your breath carries a faint sweetness. This characteristic of "sweet but not cloying, mellow but not strong" is not only suitable for experienced tea lovers to savor the "rock rhyme" carefully, but also particularly popular among tea lovers who are new to rock tea. Even if you let children take a small sip, they will not resist it due to bitterness.
Now, this niche treasure hidden in Lotus Peak has officially landed at Tongxinshe Teahouse.
