What are the “roots” of Rooteas?
Family-made
Wuyi Yancha is what our own family makes in Wuyishan, and it is the tea we work with most closely. We know the growing areas and tea plants firsthand, as well as the decisions that go into processing and roasting. For the small number of other teas we carry, we work with tea-making families we know personally and whose work we know well.
Single-origin
Wuyi Yancha carries the influence of where it is grown. Wuyishan has a particular growing environment shaped by its rocky terrain, soil, climate, sunlight, and moisture, and these conditions are an important part of what makes Wuyi Yancha what it is. Together with cultivar, processing, and roasting, they all play a part in the aroma, texture, and overall character of the finished tea.
Transparency
We try to keep the information about our teas simple and clear. We share where each tea comes from, what tea plant it is made from, and how it was processed and roasted, so you have a clear idea of what you're drinking.
- Name: Hua Xiang Jin Mu Dan (“Floral Golden Peony”)
- Chinese name & Pinyin: 花香金牡丹 huā xiāng jīn mǔ dān
- Type: Wuyi Black Tea
- Origin: Cao Dun, Wuyishan, Fujian
- Cultivar: Jin Mu Dan
- Harvest Time: Spring, 2026
- Producer: Xiao Family
- Tasting note: Floral note, Subtle creaminess, Light fruit note
This Jin Mu Dan leans toward a floral profile, with an aroma that can be reminiscent of gardenia. There is a subtle creamy quality to the fragrance, along with a light fruitiness that may show underneath. Rather than separating into very distinct notes, these elements tend to blend together, giving the tea a rounded aromatic character.
Jin Mu Dan Cultivar
Jin Mu Dan is a modern tea cultivar from Fujian, known for its naturally expressive aroma.
It was bred from Tie Guan Yin and Huang Jin Gui, two cultivars already known for fragrance, so its fruity and floral character comes naturally from the leaf itself. When made as black tea, Jin Mu Dan often brings fruity sweetness, a floral aroma, and a smooth, rounded liquor.
Tea: 5g
Gaiwan: 110–150ml
