The verdict

Where this pick fits.

The most famous Wuyi rock oolong — heavily-roasted, mineral, dark stone fruit. Each steep peels back another layer. The closest tea gets to a single malt.

Heavy roast. Wuyi rock. The closest tea gets to a single malt. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
