While it's best known for producing \u003cstrong\u003efamous rock oolongs (Yancha),\u003c\/strong\u003e it's also the birthplace of the \u003cstrong\u003eworld's very first black tea\u003c\/strong\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eZhengshan Xiaozhong (Lapsang Souchong)\u003c\/strong\u003e—a tradition that dates back more than 400 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same dramatic landscape that produces Wuyi's celebrated oolongs also shapes its black teas.

After oxidation, the leaves are gently roasted—not to create a roasted flavor like Yancha, but to deepen the tea's natural sweetness while preserving its bright fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea opens with aromas of \u003cstrong\u003ewildflowers, honey, and cocoa powder\u003c\/strong\u003e.
