Mei Zhan (梅占, "Wild Plum") is a Chinese oolong from the vicinity of the Wu Mountains in the north of Fujian Province.
The taste and aroma of Wishan oolongs depend on many parameters, but two main ones can be distinguished: raw materials and heating. Raw materials determine the potential of tea. For example, if the bushes grow in a good place, get the right amount of sun, fog, and moisture, and the soil under the bushes is rich in necessary substances, then you can make an outstanding tea with an unforgettable taste from the leaves of such bushes. Warming up determines the final result. Tea can be spoiled if it is overheated or, conversely, underheated. But when all the technical subtleties are observed, it turns out perfectly balanced in taste and aroma... Mei Zhan.
Degree of warming up: Jun Ho, medium.
