Typical characteristics of Wuyi rock tea
It can be summarized by the two words "rocky charm".
People like rock tea.
Actually, I just like that "rocky charm".
However, how should we understand "rock rhyme"?
This wise old gentleman summarized it into four words: "lively, sweet, and fragrant".

"Therefore, tea has vitality."
Decades of tea-making experience have given Ye Qitong a deep understanding of the lifeblood of tea leaves.
The value of tea.
Tea makers should not forget the lifeblood of tea leaves.
Only by viewing each tea leaf as a vessel of life...
Only then can good tea be made.

Don't let the life of tea disappear.
