Origin & Terroir
The Bishiyan-Jade Rock is one of Wuyi Mountain's ninety-nine famous peaks. Located in the core of Wuyi's northern scenic area, it borders:
-
Longfeng Rock (龙凤岩) to the north
-
Lianhua Peak (莲花峰) to the south
-
Liuguan Village (六官村) to the west
Though modest in elevation (402.8m), its microclimate is extraordinary:
☁️ Tea bushes thrive in high humidity with Minimal direct sunlight and Prolonged diffused light exposure.
This unique photoperiod induces a distinct purple tint in the leaves, uncommon for lower-elevation Yancha.
