    Huang Qi has recently taken off in Wuyishan, introduced for its very early bud growth in the spring. One problem small family farmers face in the deep mountains of Wuyishan is that when harvest season comes, there’s nobody but themselves to rely on for help picking. Planting a varietal that can be picked earlier helps manage the season! The Li Family grows a small stand of Huang Qi bushes on their remote, pristine hillside with the Wuyishan Ecological Preserve, surrounded by forest.  Deep, toasty and cozy with notes of pumpkin, cinnamon and cedar. Juicy hints of tangerine and muscat grape come through in the aftertaste

the Li Family also recommends

  • 'Wuyi is legendary. Any great Chinese art collection will be full of inkbrush paintings of the misty mountain peaks that make up Wuyi. Visiting Wuyi evokes the feeling of finally meeting someone that you have read about for years. The rocks of Wuyi aren’t just famous for the inspiration they gave to great Song dynasty painters. The true legends involve magic, and of course, Wuyi tea.'
