Golden Water Turtle (Shui Jin Gui) Rock Tea from Tong Xin She Teahouse seems an auspicious way to end the year. Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve!

Iron Arhat (Tue Luo Han) is always one of my favorite rock teas. This is a very nice (2022) example from Rivers and Lakes Tea.

White Rooster Crest is usually processed as a low oxidation, low roast rock tea. Almost more like a green tea than an Oolong. Subtly flavored, it is a rock tea varietal I struggle to appreciate.

Moving my traditional winter rock tea fiesta up a bit this year, from starting after Thanksgiving to starting after Halloween. Golden Water Turtle (Shui Jin Gui) rock tea from Rivers and Lakes.

What tea do you drink on your birthday? Do you pick a special tea or a special type of tea? Or just drink your usual teas? I picked this "Lotus Peak Shui Xian" from Tong Xin She Teahouse as a special tea to start the day and the next year of my life.

Vincent told me this year's MyTeaPal Club rock teas, (April, 2025,) are nicer than the batch from last year, (February, 2024,) but this Dong Pian Rou Gui from last year IS actually very good. Medium-Heavy Oxidation and roast, a bit uncommon in modern rock tea producers.

In general, White Rooster Crest is just not my favorite kind of Rock Tea. In processing style it is almost more like a white or green tea than other rock teas, very low oxidation. This Rivers and Lakes version also has a very low roast. I can appreciate the choices, and it isn't bad tea, but it isn't my jam.

If you like Anxi Oolong or Taiwanese Oolong, but haven't tried rock tea, this 2023 "Light Fire" Da Hong Pao from Rivers and Lakes Tea is a good bridge to appreciating Wuyi Rock Oolongs. Has rock character, but the light fire preserves a more typical oolong perfume.

Finishing off my 2024 White2Tea yancha tea club sampler with their OBSX (Old Bush Shui Xian). Perhaps the most rock character of the group. Maybe the most challenging flavor profile for newcomers to the style, but a very tasty example.

Another of my favorite rock tea varietals, Stone Milk (Shi Ru). Lower oxidation on the White2Tea 2024 release, as you can see from the color, means this is a fragrance forward take on Stone Milk. Very nice.

Winter Daphne is a solid, fairly traditional entry in the White2Tea 2023 rock tea lineup.

Qilan is another nice lighter roast and oxidation tea from last year's white2tea yancha release. Strong sweet flavor and perfume!

After a week of sinus and respiratory yuck, I can finally smell tea again. Getting back to drinking rock tea with last year's "Cockscomb" (BaiJiGuan, "White Rooster Crest") from White2Tea. "Cockscomb" rock tea is always on the subtle side, but this is a nice one, light but detectable roast, nice body, pleasant flavor.

The last of the first dozen Tong Xin She Rock Oolong is "Yellow Goddess" (Huang Guan Yin). This rock oolong is a cross between two floral/herbal oolong varieties, the very famous "Tie Guan Yin" and the less well known "Huang Pan". As you would expect, the tea character is not far from Tie Guan Yin, but with more rock elements.

According to the info on the website, all of these rock oolong teas were roasted to the same "medium/medium-light" roast. So I'm not quite sure what to attribute my perception of differing roast levels to. This Golden Peony (Jin Mu Dan) seems to be a bit darker roast. Cocoa/wood the dominant scent/flavor for me, with some incense in the perfume and aftertaste.

2023 Yellow Rose (Huang Mei Gui) rock tea from Tong Xin She Teahouse. Every year I find their Yellow Rose to be a standout tea in the yancha flight. Which is weird, because ostensibly it isn't my favorite yancha style, low oxidation, low roast. It is kind of fruity-incensey this year, very nice.

Back home after the holiday, back to my annual rock tea flight quest. "Mysterious Peony" (2023 Bei Du) from Tong Xin She Teahouse is a medium light roast and medium light oxidation tea. Along with the typical rock tea flavors, I get a touch of coconut. Tropical!
