"White Ruixiang" is a famous Chinese Wuyi rock tea variety with a history of more than 100 years. It is not only a miracle but also a blessing from nature that we have encountered the ancient survival of this variety in Taiwan.
Mr. Chen is a retired engineer. Many years ago, he discovered several ancient tea trees in the virgin forest of Pinglin. The varieties of these ancient tea trees were not clear at the time, but they must be very old. So Mr. Chen didn't know where the idea came from, and decided to propagate these tea trees by cuttings and take care of them in his own tea garden. Later, he and some experts discovered that this variety was the famous Wuyi Zhengyi "White Ruixiang". They even found that the tea trees he transplanted were at least more than a hundred years old. Therefore, it can be inferred that these independent tea trees are extremely rare. It may be a relic that our ancestors tried to plant in the 19th century. It is very rare.
We initially thought that this variety would be easy to produce because it is a small-leaf variety and the harvest volume is small. According to experience, transformation should not be difficult. However, after sunset, we discovered that the wildness of this batch of raw materials was unusual. It was so wild that the water flow was basically motionless. Later, we also discovered that this variety has a very "bottom" level that needs to be dealt with! In short, this can be said to be the most difficult variety we have ever encountered at the time!
This batch of less than ten kilograms of finished tea was already past midnight, so Mr. Chen went back to his room to rest first, while we continued to deal with this batch of stubborn and inexplicable varieties until early morning. The most shocking thing is that the fermentation of this tea took seven hours before it was finally successfully transformed. "It turns out you are really a master at making tea, I just found out today!" After Mr. Chen, who had slept well enough, tasted the Maocha, we expressed satisfaction and exhaustion.
We have never tasted such a difficult-to-understand variety, with a pine nut flavor in the front rhyme and an elegant and multi-layered backbone. It was not until two years later that the unique rock tea flavor of this tea finally revealed its ancient true colors. It can be said to be the most profound variety as of 2020.
