Stone Milk Fragrance is one of the indigenous varietals of Wuyi rock oolong. It has a long twisted dark brown dry leaf, and is very fragrant with a fruity taste. This tea is not commonly grown as compared with other bush varietals in the Wuyi mountain region. This tea is from Tian You Feng Rock in the core mountainous area, inside the world heritage site of Wuyi Mountain, that the locals call it Zhen Yan. Tea from this area has the distinctive signature rock oolong taste. 

This tea is made by master Liu who carries his father's legacy of making rock tea. His father was one of the roasting masters of the former state-owned Wuyi Rock Tea Factory prior to China's economic reforms in the 1990s. Roasting plays an important role in Wuyi rock tea's quality. Jr. master Liu has been making rock tea for over 20 years. 

This tea is very floral, as it's name suggest, it has hints of milky fragrance, and hints of butter rum, raisins and vanilla, a clear golden liquor, a creamy texture and a naturally sweet finish that lingers in your mouth and nose. It even tastes like a candy. This tea finely demonstrates the charming essence and sensory experience of Wuyi rock oolong, referred to locally as "Floral Fragrance, Rock Bone".
