Its name comes from the leaf shape. Long and narrow, just like a sparrow’s tongue. It also carries the poetic nickname “Unknown Spring” (不知春), because this variety matures later than most Wuyi Rock Teas. While most Yancha are harvested before the Beginning of Summer, Que She ripens about a week later, as though it has quietly missed the whole of spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2026 harvest was picked from Shui Lian Dong, one of the most famous scenic valleys in Wuyishan. The year’s weather brought ideal conditions: steady spring rainfall followed by a sharp rise in temperature after May 6, resulting in thicker leaves that allowed for a perfect medium roast. The result is a beautifully balanced Yancha that expresses both strength and sweetness. When brewed, it releases a rich brown sugar aroma that can fill the whole room. A tea that truly captures the warmth and fragrance of late spring in Wuyishan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma and Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Que She offers an immediately captivating fragrance and a deep, rounded sweetness.
