Wuyi Rock Tea (Yan Cha) Sampler 'Rock Tea Impressions' - Yancha Tasting Set 144g

As a long-time lover of fresh green teas, I approached this Wuyi Rock Tea sampler with curiosity, especially after tasting some Dan Cong and Da Hong Pao. What surprised me most is how accessible these rock oolongs are, even for someone used to greener profiles: they open with a gentle minerality, never aggressive, and develop into layered notes of flowers, vanilla, butter, and a light roast that never hides the natural sweetness.
Da Hong Pao stands out with its round, buttery finish and that subtle floral-vanilla note I had already noticed in my tasting, while the other samples unfold shades of honeyed orchid, dried fruit, or light spice. Compared to Dan Cong, these Yan Cha are more stable, less pungent, more balanced, with a deeper minerality that reveals itself infusion after infusion.
In short: a perfect introduction to the world of Wuyi oolongs for someone coming from green teas — complex but not difficult, aromatic without excess, and able to offer an elegant, surprisingly smooth “rocky” profile through many steeps.

good value for the money. Nice to get an idea for the yancha types. Dont expect crazy quality for that price. But it is a very good deal

Ottimo prodotto

High quality teas. Make otger rock teas taste poor.

Love this. This sampler is great. Several great varieties in this and in the perfect bag size for my rock clay gaiwan. Each works out to be a single fill for the gaiwan. Great flavors. Good quality.

The teas were beautifully packaged, and this format is also great for getting to know the culture of tea drinking better. I bought one box for myself and one for my friend as a gift. Both are happy with the product.

Didn’t try them all yet, but the ones I’ve tasted are great: clean mineral character, pleasant roast, and nice depth across steeps. Nicely packed in small sealed bags. Perfect to gift or sample one by one.

Mir hat das Set sehr gut gefallen. Ich mochte die Oolongs wirklich – alles außer dem Gelben und dem Shui Xian wirkte etwas wässrig. Insgesamt aber ein wirklich gutes Probier-Set, um in die reiche Geschmacksvielfalt der Felsen-Oolongs einzutauchen.
Vielleicht täusche ich mich beim Gelben Tee oder beim Shui Xian. Jetzt, wo ich das passende Teegeschirr habe, genieße ich besonders Sorten wie Rou Gui, Bei Dou oder Xie Lan – aber auch die anderen sind gut. Ein großes Plus von mir!

Product is well packaged, I like the teas very much. Each variant has a very expressive flavor that is very representative of the variety. I especially like the Rou Gui, which has smoky and cinamonny notes.
