Origin

Wuyi Mountain is famous for its unique Danxia landform, with steep cliffs, deep valleys, loose and fertile soil, and slightly acidic soil, which provide unique conditions for the growth of tea trees. Wuyi Mountain has a mild climate, warm winters and cool summers, abundant rainfall, and clouds and fog all year round in the mountains, which is suitable for the growth of tea trees. Tea farmers cleverly use the terrain of rock hollows, stone crevices, and stone cracks, and carefully build stone banks to grow tea, thus forming a unique "potted" tea garden. In such an environment, Wuyi rock tea absorbs unique minerals, and finally presents an unforgettable tea soup taste, texture and soup flavor, with an indescribable "rock rhyme岩韵", known as the "rock bone flower fragrance岩骨花香".

Yanzike Rougui is one of the famous varieties of Wuyi rock tea and belongs to oolong tea. Yanzike is named after Yanzi Peak, one of the 99 rocks in Wuyi Mountain. It is located in the Zhengyan production area of Wuyi Mountain National Scenic Area, north of Jiuqu River and west of Sanyang Peak. Its rock formation is like a flying swallow, full of dynamics. Two huge rocks are inserted obliquely between the peaks, and their shapes resemble a pair of swallows resting on the green peaks and rocks, hence the name Yanzike. The environment here is quiet, closed and cool, which is an ideal place for rougui tea to grow.

In Yanzike Mountain Field, rotten rocks grow between the tea trees. The most distinctive feature is the thick red siliceous aluminum soil layer, which is conducive to the accumulation of soluble salts. Therefore, the red layer contains a certain amount of calcium oxide and a small amount of gypsum deposition. It is rich in iron content and minerals.
