North Fujian-Wuyi Oolong

North Fujian Oolong is more fermented. It mainly grows at Mount Wuyi in north Fujian. There is a small yield from Jianou, Jianyang, Nanping, Shuiji—three crops per year. The picking and processing start from late April. It has two sub-categories, Wuyi Yan Cha(Wuyi Rock Tea) and Min Bei Shui Xian(North Fujian Daffodil/water faery), the former being more popular.

Wuyi Yan Cha-Wuyi Rock Tea

Mild in taste and light in flavor, Wuyi Yan Cha is the earliest type of Oolong. Its half-fermented processing was invented by villagers in Mount Wuyi during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Yan Cha, charm of rock Yan means rock in Chinese. Wuyi Yan Cha gives off a unique fragrance of “flowers growing on the rocks.”
Tea farmers plant tea trees between rocks and stones. This gives it the name Yan Cha. Presently there are about 1,000 types of tea trees.
The fragrance of the tea trees mingles with the clean mountain air. Wuyi Yan Cha absorbs both, and the tea gives off its “charm” of “freshness, fragrance, sweetness and vividness.”
The enduring fragrance is a mixture of green tea and black tea—light and rich—with added freshness of the bright yellow tea liquid, pure and clear. Drink it, to experience its sweetness and the enjoyable aftertaste. Appreciate the visual treat of the “green leaf red edge.”
Famous Bushes are considered the “King of Yan Cha.” The small output and good quality make the Famous Bushes precious. They are given special names according to the tree shape or their growth environment. During the reign of Xianfeng (Qing Dynasty), the Four Famous Bushes chosen were named Da Hong Pao(Big Red Robe), Bai Ji Guan(White Cockscomb), Tie Luo Han(Iron Arhat) and Shui Jin Gui(Golden Turtle).

Other Types of Wuyi Yan Cha

Wuyi Rou Gui(Wuyi Cinnamon)
Wuyi Cinnamon is made from the tender leaves of cinnamon tea trees first discovered in Hui Yuan Yan. Today, through a major asexual reproduction drive, it is found in Shuiliandong, Sanyangfeng, Matouyan, Guilinyan and Jiuquxi. Wuyi Cinnamon has become the major breed of the Wuyi oolong tea and is produced on a large scale.
Wuyi Shui Xian(Wuyi Daffodil or Water Faery)
Known as a premium quality Wuyi oolong tea, Wuyi Daffodil was discovered before Wuyi Cinnamon.

Min Bei Shui Xian(North Fujian Daffodil/water faery)

North Fujian Daffodil is the other main type of North Fujian Oolong Tea, which has fruit like fragrance, and its yield is good. The tender leaves of the daffodil tea trees are the raw materials used for Oolong, and are named according to the place of origin. The bar-shaped North Fujian Daffodil Tea is made from daffodils growing in north Fujian Province. The tea is “good-looking and tasteful,” with “incomparable fruity flavor.”
First discovered around Dahu Village of Shuiji Area of Jianyang County in North Fujian 100 years ago, the top-grade Oolong tea is now produced on a large scale at Jianou and Jianyang counties, contributing 60–70% of the production in north Fujian. Different from the traditional north Fujian bar-shaped Oolong teas, today, mass rolling is an added process to compress and curl the leaves. North Fujian Daffodil and South Fujian Oolong are similar in shape.
