Pure Heart Orchid (素心兰) is one of the most quietly extraordinary rock teas to come out of Wuyi Mountain, a tea so refined in its floral character that the name itself tells you exactly what to expect. Grown in the mineral-rich rock terrain that defines true Yan Yun, this supreme grade selection carries the full signature of Wuyi craftsmanship — deep roasted complexity on the surface, a pure and elegant orchid fragrance underneath, and a rock rhyme that resonates through the throat long after the session ends.

This is not a tea that shouts. It reveals itself slowly, infusion by infusion, each one opening a new layer of complexity that wasn’t there before. By the sixth pour you’ll understand exactly why collectors seek this out. Supreme grade. Vintage selection. 54g of something genuinely rare.

Vessel: Traditional gaiwan (recommended) or Yixing clay teapot

 

Method:

  • Rinse the leaves once with boiling water — discard immediately. This opens the leaves and removes any surface dust.
  • 1st–6th infusion: pour in and out as quickly as possible — flash infusions only. The rock tea is concentrated and needs no time at this stage.
  • 7th infusion onward: begin adding time — start at 10 seconds and add 10–15 seconds with each subsequent infusion. 
  • Total infusions: 8–10 full sessions from one 9g serving.
