Wuyi Origin is among the most respected direct-from-farm sources for Wuyi yancha (rock tea — the distinctive Fujianese oolong category) available to international drinkers. Cindy Chen founded the operation in 2013 in Wuyishan, the Fujian region that defines Wuyi rock tea production. The catalog focuses exclusively on Wuyi oolongs — Da Hong Pao, Rou Gui, Shui Xian, Lao Cong Shui Xian, and the various traditional Wuyi cultivars — with deep coverage of vintage years, single-bush productions, and roast variations.

For serious Wuyi yancha drinkers globally, Wuyi Origin is often the primary source. The direct relationship with the Chen family's tea garden and processing operations produces transparency that's difficult to achieve through intermediary importers. The catalog rotates with each spring harvest; aged inventory from previous years remains available. The pricing reflects the direct-source single-region focus and is appropriate for the category.
