烏龍 — 武夷岩茶

來自Wǔyí Shān的岩茶 — Q3微批次,5克小包裝

岩茶 — 字面意思是岩石茶 — 是產自福建北部懸崖凹地的焙火烏龍。這些樣品來自2026年春季採摘,於初秋完成最後焙火,此刻正處於品飲的最佳時機。兩個品種、兩種風土,每款5克。

烏龍 — 武夷岩茶

岩、火與武夷烏龍的悠長餘韻

武夷岩茶(岩茶)生長於閩北的丹霞砂岩峽谷中 — 這是一片聯合國教科文組織景觀,茶樹根系扎入礦化的岩縫,而非翻耕的土壤。這種礦物質的吸收賦予岩茶標誌性的yán yùn(岩韵),即岩石韻味 — 一種鹹鮮、近乎濕石般的深度,在飲盡後良久仍縈繞喉底。

採摘每年一次,於四月下旬至五月中旬,此時新梢已開展至三至四片成熟葉。這比綠茶的採摘時間晚且葉片較粗老 — 岩茶需要足夠的結構來承受後續工序。鮮葉經日曬萎凋後,在竹篩中搖青以磨損葉緣。氧化程度約達40–60%,介於綠茶與紅茶之間,之後殺青、揉捻、乾燥。

然後,定義岩茶的工序開始了:炭焙。茶品在龍眼木炭火上低架竹焙籠中反覆烘焙,靜置數週後再次焙火 — 有時一年內歷經三至四輪焙火。輕火(輕火)保留花香在前;中火(中火)是多數茶人熟知的經典平衡;足火(足火)則推向可可、龍眼乾與烤穀物的風味。我們選擇第三季樣品時機有所考量:2026年春季茶菁,經焙火與靜置至秋季,正是焙火氣息沉澱,果香從火中甦醒的時刻。

本回釋出的兩款茶品由兩個品種擔綱。Ròu Guì(肉桂)就是肉桂品種 — 明亮、帶胡椒感,並有核果類的香氣上揚。我們這批次取自zhèngyán(正岩)地塊,即核心景區的岩石地帶,是礦物質韻味最重的岩茶風土。Lǎo Cōng Shuǐ Xiān(老丛水仙)來自樹幹附苔、根系更深的老叢水仙茶樹 — 較柔和、木質調,帶有乳脂般的cōng wèi(丛味),即老叢的獨特韻味。

若想更深入了解武夷品種與sì dà míng cōng(四大名叢),我們推薦學生參考 thetea.app/wuyi-yancha 上的百科條目。

A buyer's note

How to taste yancha at sample scale

使用沸水

Yancha needs full 100°C water to open the roast. Anything cooler and you get only the surface — the rock rhyme stays locked in the leaf.

投茶量足,浸泡時間短

For a 5g sample in a 100ml gaiwan: rinse once, then steep 8s, 10s, 15s, 20s, climbing slowly. Yancha gives 6–8 infusions when dosed properly.

讓茶葉靜置後再評判

A fresh-roasted yancha can taste ashy for the first month. Our Q3 lots have already rested through summer — but let the open sample sit a week in its tin before brewing if it travelled hard.

存放於陰涼、乾燥、密封處

Yancha keeps for years if sealed away from light, humidity, and strong smells. Re-roast is possible but not needed for these — drink within 12 months for best fruit.

聞空杯香

Pour out, then sniff the warm porcelain. Yancha reveals its aromatic top notes — orchid, cinnamon, dried longan — in the empty cup more clearly than in the liquor.

搭配合適的茶具

A thin-walled porcelain gaiwan is the honest tool for sampling. Yixing concentrates roast but masks faults — save it for production tins. See [tea.equipment](https://tea.equipment) for gaiwan picks.

Common questions

Asked, answered.

What does zhengyan mean and why does it matter?

*Zhèngyán* (正岩) is the core scenic zone of Wuyishan — the inner cliffs where mineral soil is densest. It is the most prized yancha terroir, and the source of our Rou Gui lot.

Is yancha the same as Da Hong Pao?

*Dà Hóng Páo* (大红袍) is one famous yancha cultivar and blend style. Rou Gui and Shui Xian are the other two pillars of the category, alongside Tie Luo Han and Bai Ji Guan.

How roasted are these samples?

Both lots are medium roast (*zhōng huǒ*) — toasted enough to carry depth and storage stability, light enough to keep the cultivar's floral and fruit character clear in the cup.

Can I brew yancha Western-style?

You can, but you lose most of what makes it yancha. 3g in a 200ml pot for 3 minutes works as a starter — gongfu method reveals far more. Our course at [tea.school](https://tea.school) covers both.

Is one sample enough to understand a yancha?

Honestly — a 5g cut is a taste, not a study. It is enough to decide if a cultivar speaks to you. If it does, full tins live at [shop.thetea.app](https://shop.thetea.app).

Why only two yancha this quarter?

We sample what is drinking well right now. Spring 2026 was a tight harvest in Wuyishan — these two lots cleared our cupping table. Q4 will add a heavier-roast Shui Xian.

Does the shipping cost include both samples?

Yes. One shipping fee covers any combination of samples in your quarterly order, including pick-3 selections from outside this category.

How long will an opened sample stay good?

Reseal and drink within four to six weeks. Yancha is stable but loses aromatic top notes once air gets in repeatedly. A 5g cut is two to three gongfu sessions.
