STiR Tea & Coffee Industry Bi-Monthly
gives readers and advertisers MORE
Market research showed us that the tea and coffee industry wants (and we think, deserves) MORE than what they are currently getting in their magazines and exhibitions, and so we at Tea & Coffee Asia decided to take that challenge and give the industry a STiR.

Oolong tea is gaining in popularity as more gourmet choices are introduced to tea lovers worldwide. The semi-oxidized tea originated from Fujian province in China some 300 to 400 years ago. Over time, Fujian, Taiwan and Guangdong became leading producers boasting of distinctive gourmet origin oolongs respectively. In northern Fujian, Wuyi rock tea (wu yi yan cha) is a signature origin oolong. The tea grows in gaps and cracks of rocks on Mount Wuyi, hence the name. It is an intensely oxidized and heavily roasted dark oolong in long curly shapes with amber or reddish brown liquid.
