Ban Tian Yao tea is an increasingly popular varietal from the category of Oolong teas known as “Wu Yi Yen teas,” or Wu Yi Rock Teas. It was hand harvested and processed during spring. It is found in the North-west of Fujian Province of South-Eastern China.
History of Ban Tian Yao tea
The name of this tea comes from its discovery as a wild-growing plant found high up on a rocky cliff in the Wu Yi Mountains. The plant was crafted into rootstalks to give rise to hybrids which could be cultivated in more accessible parts of the region.
