Qi Dan Rare Crimson Wu-Long Tea is crafted in the rocky terrain of the Wuyi Mountains, where the unique environment contributes to its bold and distinctive character. Farmers handpick the mature leaves during spring, selecting only the highest quality for this premium tea.

After harvesting, the leaves are withered under natural sunlight to reduce moisture while preserving their natural sweetness. They are then rolled to release essential oils and undergo a precise oxidation process. The signature roasting step follows, where the tea is fired over charcoal multiple times. This gives Qi Dan its rich roasted aroma, complex flavor, and long-lasting finish. Every step of this traditional process reflects the dedication of Wuyi tea artisans, who have perfected their craft over centuries.

How to Spot Premium Qi Dan Rare Crimson Wu-Long Tea
High-quality Qi Dan tea features tightly twisted, dark brown leaves with a slightly glossy appearance. The dry leaves should carry a roasted, mineral-rich aroma with hints of flowers and dried fruits. When brewed, the tea produces a clear amber liquor with a smooth, layered flavor. Steeped leaves should unfurl completely, revealing their intact structure and vibrant quality, a hallmark of expert craftsmanship. For guidance on selecting premium teas, visit our Help Center.
