Wuyi Roast

We felt the tea maker’s enthusiasm the minute he started talking about his teas. It’s like listening to a jazz fanatic talk about his record collection. “This one tastes like pineapples, and that one smells like peaches. And are you intrigued by white tea cakes?” Fruit varieties are his preferred adjectives, and some are actually spot-on. What piqued our interest was his roasted Wuyi. Aroma of orange rind and walnut lingers behind the toastiness. He roasts the tea with far-infrared technology, a method he is not willing to share in detail but claims is indispensable.

Can you taste his nutty excitement?
