The leaves of Wu-Yi Tea begin as thousands of leaves of the camellia sinensis plant on rolling hills and high mountains of the Wu-Yi Mountains in the Fujian Province of China. The moist climate is the perfect setting for wu-yi tea harvesting as the wind from the ocean meets the high altitude of the mountain region. If you have ever seen pictures of the Wu-Yi Mountains where authentic Wu-Yi Tea comes from you will notice the foggy atmosphere that always stays at mountain level making it seem that the mountains are literally up in the skies of the China province.

When brewed wuyi Oolong tea is a bright golden-yellowish color with a strong and pleasant aroma. When a tea bag allowed to steep for three to four minutes the wuyi tea leaves unfurl and allow all of the tea juices and flavor to seep into the water. Wu-Yi tea has a refreshing and long lasting after taste in the mouth. Remember also that Wu-yi Oolong tea also has more of the weight loss benefits than green tea due to the further oxidation of the tea leaves. This is well known in Asia and becoming more well known throughout the world as authentic Wu-Yi Tea is becoming more popular.
