Looking for a new tea to try, or curious to see if the masses are steeping your favourite blend too?
Read MoreWuyi Rock Tea, widely regarded as one of the finest dark oolongs available, and a consistent favorite among tea connoisseurs. Cultivated from the stunning Wuyi Mountains in Nanping Prefecture, a region recognized by UNESCO for its incredible biological diversity and conservation efforts, this tea is harvested in small quantities to ensure the health of the plants. The unique chocolatey and earthy aroma, along with its complex flavor profile, is a testament to the exceptional climate and soil conditions of the area, making it truly one-of-a-kind. Not only is Wuyi Rock Tea a treat for the taste buds, but studies have also shown that regular consumption of oolong tea may offer various health benefits such as reducing body weight and fat tissue, lowering bad cholesterol levels, and increasing energy expenditure. This tea contains both caffeine and L-theanine, which work in tandem to provide alertness while simultaneously promoting a sense of calm. To unlock the full potential of this tea, we recommend experimenting with different brewing styles, temperatures, water-leaf ratios, and steeping times to discover your perfect cup. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the exceptional flavor and benefits of Wuyi Rock Tea.

I love this tea, out of my whole order it is turning out to be my favorite. It’s got that earthy subtle chocolatiness on the first infusion that I’ve been searching for. Very impressed with the quality of Shanti Tea and the customer service was spot on as well. |
