    Thanks a lot Leo! Yeah, I realize that it‘s hit or miss with the producers pretty much everywhere I have been in China. But the same can be said about those wholesale markets. The latter having the obvious advantage that it’s very easy to shop around without spending too much time.

    SORRY, PREVIOUS POST WAS SENT OUT TOO EARLY. UPDATED VERSION HERE.

    Looks like a tea worth investigating indeed. Call me a coarse-tastebudded amateur but the problem I have with Fujian blacks is that, while I often really appreciate their individual taste profiles, I don’t feel that there is that much variation between the different kinds (Lapsang Louchong and a few other exceptions apart). So the tea in question really might be something that would get me raving again. 

    I live a mere 1.30 hour train ride from Fuding and have been planning to go there for some time, also because it features some beautiful hills and islands. 
    If I eventually go and manage to spot the tea in question, or at least anything similar, I will let you know 🙂
    Leo, if you are reading this, do you have contact or other information about the few producers making such tea or is it a business secret you would prefer to keep 🙂

    Thanks all for your feedback!

    Just saw that there is an extensive feature about Yixing on the teaguardian. The tea gods have heard my prayers 🙂
