Qilan is also known as a 'Rare Orchid.' This Qilan was harvested in the spring of 2020 in Yu Hua Dong, one of the 72 caves in Zhengyan, a unique region in the core of Wuyishan.
 
Yu Hua Dong (玉华洞): Yuhua Cave, commonly known as Bat Cave, is located at the foot of Baihuayan in the north of the mountain. Yuhua Cave is a vast cave formed by the collapse of the rock wall. It is 120 meters wide, 20 meters deep, and about 50 meters high. Because the rock mass moves up and down, there is no wind and rain in the cave, and the rock mass remains white and reddish when it breaks, so it is called Yuhua Cave.
 
The Zhengyan region is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage protected site. Teas from the Zhengyan region are highly sought after for their authentic representation of Cliff Teas.
 
This Qilan has a lingering floral sweetness perfectly balanced with a savory nuttiness derived from the slow, long charcoal roast, leaving a lasting impression on your palette.
