Ban Tian Yao Cliff Tea (半天妖) is also called 半天鹞、半天腰, is one of the four famouse varieties of cliff oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains in China. Cliff oolong teas are grown on the steep slopes of the Wuyi Mountains, where the tea plants are exposed to varying weather conditions, mineral-rich soil, and misty fog. These factors contribute to the distinctive flavor profile and character of Wuyi oolong teas. Cliff oolong teas from the Wuyi Mountains are often roasted during processing. This roasting imparts a unique roasted or toasted flavor to the tea, which is balanced with other flavor elements. Same as other cliff teas, Ban Tian Yao Cliff Tea impart subtle mineral notes to the tea, adding to its complexity.
