What are the “roots” of Rooteas?

Rooteas tea making skills

Family-made

Our teas all come from tea-making families. Some are made by our own family, and others are crafted by families we've known and trusted for years. Not from an unknown source, but from real people and family producers whose craft we trust and have seen in person.

Rooteas family tea farm

Single-origin

It means you can actually taste where the tea comes from. It stays true to its own place, so the local soil, rocks, and climate all come through in the cup. With Wuyi rock oolong, you get that clear rock rhythm (Yan Yun) and a deep, lingering fragrance that only those rocky slopes can give. When you drink it, you're not just having a cup of tea, you're getting a small snapshot of that landscape.

Transparency

We like to keep things honest and simple. When we share a tea, we share all the detailed information too, so you always know what you're drinking. We'd love to be the trusted tea partner you can turn to.

Golden Peony is a cultivar developed by the Tea Research Institute of the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, created through hybrid breeding with Tie Guan Yin (铁观音) as the mother plant and Huang Jin Gui (黄金桂) as the father plant. It is known for its expressive aroma. Later, it was introduced to Wuyi Mountain and became one of the region’s key cultivars. With excellent processing flexibility, it can be crafted into rock tea or black tea, each with its own distinct character.
