  • Wuyi rock tea(Yancha) is widely considered the crown jewel of Oolong tea. It is one variety of Oolong tea, a semi-oxidized tea, uniquely positioned between green and black teas, and is protected by strict geographical designation—much like Champagne in France. Only tea grown within the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Wuyi Mountains can carry this name. Its reputation for having a distinct "structural backbone" and deep, multi-layered aromas makes it a favorite among tea connoisseurs and beginners alike.

  • A: The tea soup of Wuyi rock tea ( Yancha) offers a changable and layered tasting experience. It begins with a distinct smoothness on the tongue, followed by a rich, complex evolution of flavors. Depending on the roast and the cultivar, you may experience a harmonious blend of natural sweetness, subtle woody undertones, and refreshing fruit or floral notes. The tea soup is remarkably balanced, leaving a sweet, lingering sensation in the throat (known as Hui Gan) long after each sip.

    ​"Floral/Fruit Aroma" (Hua Xiang): Depending on the cultivar, the tea naturally expresses notes of orchid, fruit, or deep woody undertones. Its flavor is remarkably complex and evolves with every steep.

  • A: We honor the ancient tradition of manual charcoal roasting. This is an incredibly labor-intensive and time-consuming process that requires a master tea maker’s precision. By carefully managing the roasting levels—ranging from light roasted to medium-heavy roasted—we bring out the unique character of the leaves, ensuring a perfect balance of flavor and depth.Of course, all above depends on tea master’s experience, who can affect the final taste of the tea.

  • A: That depends on your personal preference!

    ​Light Roast : Tends to be gentel, more mellow, and showcases the natural floral or fruity notes of the tea cultivar. If you are new to the world of Oolong, we highly recommend starting with a Light Roast.

    ​Medium-Heavy Roast Offers a richer, warmer, and more mature flavor profile with a stronger "Rock Bone" mineral finish.

    If you prefer a bolder, more intense flavor profile, or if you are a fan of coffee, the Medium-Heavy Roast is the perfect choice.

  • A: Tea is not medicine. It is important to clarify that no tea can cure specific diseases or replace medical treatment. While many scientific studies (such as those in major medical journals) have shown that the natural compounds in tea, like catechins and polyphenols, can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and support metabolic health, these findings refer to long-term health benefits, not immediate clinical cures.

    ​When scientists talk about the "benefits" of tea, they are referring to preventive care and body maintenance, not therapeutic treatment for active illnesses. Viewing tea as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle—rather than a medical remedy—is the most responsible way to enjoy it.

    Founder’s notes:

    The health benefits mentioned in research are only found in high-quality, well-crafted leaves. If you are drinking tea for its wellness properties, we highly recommend choosing premium tea. Extremely cheap, mass-market teas often lack these essential nutrients and will not provide the benefits you are looking for.

  • Founder’s Note:

    Gongfu tea is often misunderstood as a complex ritual, but in reality, it is simply a natural and elegant way of brewing tea—a distinctly Eastern approach to balance. It requires precision—careful water temperature and tea-to-water ratios—but it is surprisingly adaptable.

    ​Even in today’s fast-paced, modern society, the essence of Gongfu brewing can be simplified: focus on small vessels, precise timing, and quick infusions. It is not about unnecessary complication; it is about efficiency and intensity. By using small cups and quick brewing times, you capture the tea's spirit in moments. It is an art form that fits perfectly into a busy lifestyle, offering a brief, beautiful connection between the tea, the water, and the person.

    Liwei from THÉ DE ROCHE

  • Founder’s note:

    While it remains a delightful "chemistry mystery," it likely comes down to the precise contact area between the tea leaves and water, which unlocks flavors that a large pot simply cannot reach.

    Gongfu brewing is the art of extracting the "tea soul." Just as every steak chef has their unique technique to achieve the perfect sear, every tea has a specific method that makes it shine. Gongfu is about respecting the tea and finding that exquisite balance where the leaves reach their full potential.

    Our commitment to your tea experience:

    We believe that every premium tea deserves to be enjoyed at its best. That is why every tea purchase comes with our tailored Gongfu brewing guide. While we respect that everyone has their own unique tea-drinking habits, we invite you to explore our recommended method. We believe it will unlock the deepest aromas and most exquisite flavors of our teas, offering you a truly exceptional tasting experience.

  • A: As the summer heat arrives, many turn to iced beverages, but tea offers a far more refreshing , elegant and healthy alternative. While cold-brewing is a fantastic way to enjoy tea, it is important to know that not all teas are created equal for this method.

    The cold truth is only high-quality tea truly excels when cold-brewed. The low-temperature extraction process is like a "magnifying glass"—it brings out the inherent sweetness and freshness of premium leaves while eliminating the bitterness often found in lower-grade teas.

    Top 4 recommendations for cold-brewing: green tea(including jasmine tea), white tea( not aged white tea),light roast Oolong tea and black tea.

    ————————————————-Founder’s notes:

    The secret to a perfect cold brew lies in the quality of the leaves. All these selections share one key characteristic: they are naturally light, refreshing, and possess a clean flavor profile. Cold-brewing is a magical way to capture the raw sweetness and distinct character of the tea without any heaviness. If you’re looking to beat the heat, skip the mass-market tea bags and try cold-brewing a premium loose-leaf tea—the difference in taste will truly surprise you.

    Furthermore, for every tea you select, we provide a tailored cold-brewing guide, specifically customized to the unique characteristics of each variety. Whether you are brewing a crisp green tea or a fragrant oolong, we are here to help you unlock the most exquisite flavor in every bottle.

  • Founder’s notes:

    Choosing tea for people more than Middle-aged or senior requires careful consideration of their unique health needs, particularly regarding digestion, caffeine sensitivity, and sleep quality. As we age, our digestive systems become more sensitive, so we always recommend teas that are gentle, soothing, and supportive of overall well-being.

    Aged White Tea : This is our top recommendation. Aged for 3-7 years or more, it has naturally low caffeine and a remarkably mellow profile. It offers delicate floral and honey notes without any harshness. Most importantly, it helps soothe the mind and supports better sleep. During the aging process, it develops rich amino acids, making it incredibly gentle on the stomach.

    Aged Pu-erh (Shu Pu): A wonderful, gut-friendly choice for everyone, especially seniors. A well-aged ripe Pu-erh (8–10 years old) is known for its benefits to support digestion, regulate blood pressure and lipids, and cholesterol. With its signature rice aroma and smooth, mellow texture, it acts as a protective shield for the gastric mucosa.

    Wuyi Rock Tea (Yancha): For those who appreciate a richer, more complex flavor, Wuyi rock tea is an excellent choice. Even if taste buds become less sensitive with age, Yancha’s distinct "rock bone" floral fragrance and multi-layered profile provide a deeply satisfying experience that many seniors truly love.

    A note on brewing for seniors:

    You don’t need complex equipment to enjoy these teas. Aged white tea and Aged Pu-erh Shu are perfect for "thermos brewing." Simply add the leaves to a thermos and let them steep—this method is incredibly simple and convenient. More importantly, the sustained heat inside a thermos creates a remarkably smooth, mellow, and consistent infusion, making the tea even more gentle and benificial on the stomach. It’s a effortless way to enjoy premium tea throughout the day.

    Liwei from THÉ DE ROCHE

  • A: While all teas contain compounds that support digestion, our experience at Thé De Roche shows that certain varieties are significantly more effective at relieving post-meal heaviness.

    We highly recommend Dancong (Yashixiang or Milan xiang)as the most effective option for post-meal relief. Its unique processing and robust, characteristic "rock note" make it exceptionally efficient at cutting through grease and restoring digestive comfort. Both teas has an elegant fragrence and honey-like finish, no bitterness.

    —————————————————-

    Funder’s notes:

    In my 20 years of tea journey, nothing has provided such immediate, noticeable relief after a rich meal or a BBQ as Dancong. I’ve found it to be the most effective way to clear the palate and help the stomach feel light again. It is my personal go-to for a quick digestive reset.

    Liwei from THÉ DE ROCHE

  • A: At present, there is no science research shown health hazard in re-brewing tea leaves that have been left overnight, provided they are stored correctly. If you wish to do so, please ensure the tea leaves are fully drained of water and kept at room temperature (not in the refrigerator).

    ​However, from our experience in the tea , we generally do not recommend it. Much like coffee, tea is a natural plant. When left for an extended period, the leaves lose their delicate aromatic compounds and the flavor profile will inevitably shift and diminish. To experience the true essence and character of our artisanal teas, we always suggest enjoying them fresh within the same day.

    —————————————————--Funder’s notes:

    I understand that life gets busy, and sometimes you just can’t finish all 8-10 infusions of a high-quality tea in one sitting. If you must save it, treat it with care—keep it drain completely and cool. But remember, the magic of a premium tea lies in that vibrant, fresh aroma that only reveals itself when brewed immediately.

    Liwei from THÉ DE ROCHE

  • A: Yes, absolutely. The material and porosity of your teaware play a significant role in how tea flavors are expressed. Our recommendations are based on how well the vessel preserves the tea's original character:

    ​Bone China (Porcelain) - The Universal Choice: This is our top recommendation. Because of its dense, non-porous structure, bone china does not "absorb" or "steal" the tea's aroma. It is the perfect canvas for almost any tea—especially high-aroma Oolongs (like Wuyi rock tea or Dancong) and delicate Green teas—as it faithfully restores the true flavor profile.

    ​Glassware - The Visual & Pure Choice: Glass is completely neutral and inert, making it ideal for Green teas, herbal teas(caffeine free) , or any tea where you want to appreciate the visual beauty of the unfolding leaves without any impact on the flavor.

    ​Pottery / Yixing Clay (Zisha) - The Specialist: We recommend these for aged teas, particularly ripe Pu-erh. The porous nature of these materials acts as a filter, absorbing slight impurities or "off-notes" that can sometimes develop in aged teas, leaving behind a cleaner, smoother liquor. However, avoid these for high-aroma Oolongs, as they may absorb the delicate fragrance you want to preserve.

    —————————————————Funder’s notes:

    I’ve seen many customers seek out heavy cast-iron kettles for brewing delicate teas. While beautiful, they are often too heavy and can sometimes alter the nuance of high-fragrance teas. As a rule of thumb: use porcelain or glass to reveal the tea’s top notes; use clay to refine the body of aged, earthy teas. Always choose the vessel that serves the tea, not the other way around.

    Visit our Montreal Boutique:

    If you are looking for the perfect vessel, I invite you to visit our shop here in Montreal. We curate a selection of exquisite teaware, ranging from handcrafted Zisha clay pots and delicate glassware to everyday essentials and thoughtful gifts. I would love to help you find a piece that elevates your tea experience.

  • A: You can certainly enjoy tea in the evening with the right selection and brewing techniques. For those looking to aid digestion after a meal while keeping sleep in mind, we recommend:

    Aged White Tea: Known for its low caffeine, gentle nature and excellent ability to cut through grease and aid digestion.

    ​Ripe Puerh & Oolong Tea: Ideal for post-meal consumption to help settle the stomach.

    ​If you are particularly sensitive to caffeine, you may opt for:

    Herbal Teas: Such as Chrysanthemum tea or any of our caffeine-free herbal blends, which will not interfere with your sleep.

    —————————————————--Funder’s notes:

    Here are two simple tips to help you manage your caffeine intake:

    ​"Wash" the leaves: Quickly rinse the tea leaves with hot water and discard the first steep; this removes a portion of the surface caffeine.

    ​Control steep time: Shorten the steeping time to minimize caffeine extraction, resulting in a lighter but rich flavor profile that is gentle on your sleep. I suggest steeping time is only 5 s-15 s.

In addition to our primary markets in North America (Canada and the USA), we deliver to:

    ​Asia: Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and more.

    ​Europe: The UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Belgium, and others.

    ​Oceania: Australia and beyond.

    ​We strive to ensure that tea enthusiasts everywhere can experience the authentic taste and superior quality of our hand-selected Chinese teas.

  • A: We strive to keep logistics as affordable as possible. For North America (Canada & USA), we offer Free Shipping on orders over $75 CAD. For all other international destinations, we have negotiated special volume-based shipping rates with our logistics partners. We pass these discounted rates directly to you with zero mark-up, ensuring you pay the lowest possible cost for delivery.

  • A: The short answer is: No, it is not necessary.

    ​Whether or not you choose to rinse your tea depends on these three factors:

    • ​Quality of the Tea: This is the most important factor. When you buy high-quality, artisanal tea (like the premium Yancha or high-altitude teas we curate at our shop), the leaves are harvested and processed under strict hygiene standards. Premium tea is clean and full of flavor from the very first infusion—you are missing out if you pour that first steep away!

    • ​Type of Tea: For aged teas (such as aged Pu-erh or aged White tea), some people prefer a quick "waking" process (a 3-second rinse) to help the leaves open up and release their aroma. However, our high-quality aged teas are stored with care, so even if you skip this step, the first infusion will still be clean and flavorful.

    • ​Personal Preference vs. Concerns: Traditionally, "rinsing" was often done out of concern for potential dust or impurities in mass-produced teas of unknown origin. If you trust the source and the quality of your tea, this step is unnecessary.

    ——-——————————————--

    Funder’s notes:

    ​A few words on that "First Steep":

    ​I am often asked why so many tea blogs insist on "rinsing" the leaves. Most of the time, this is simply a habit born out of uncertainty regarding the quality or cleanliness of mass-produced tea.

    ​But if you are holding one of the premium teas I have curated for you—be it an artisanal Wuyi rock tea(Yancha )or a carefully aged Pu-erh or aged white tea—I invite you to experience the first steep.

    ​Think of it this way: when we brew high-quality coffee, we don't wash the beans before grinding them. Tea is the same. When you choose pure, expertly crafted tea, every drop is a gift. There is no need to wash away the soul of the leaves.

    ​If you find the first infusion a bit subtle for your palate, I have a small tip: pour it into a cup and set it aside. Enjoy your second and third infusions first, and then come back to that first cup. You will be surprised to find that it still holds a beautiful, crisp, and refreshing profile that is entirely its own.

    ​True quality is meant to be appreciated in its entirety. Let yourself enjoy every moment of your tea journey, starting from the very first drop.

    Liwei from THÉ DE ROCHE

  • A: Generally, we do not recommend using a thermal flask for most types of tea.

    ​Think of it this way: brewing delicate tea in a thermal flask is like taking a premium, high-quality steak and boiling it in a pot of water instead of searing it perfectly. While the stainless steel flask is excellent at retaining heat, the constant high temperature can "steal" the tea's natural aroma. For example, if you brew a high-fragrance Oolong or Yancha (Rock Tea) in a thermal flask, you will lose those beautiful, nuanced floral and fruity notes, leaving you with a rather flat and ordinary cup of tea.

    —————————————————--Funder’s notes:

    While most teas prefer a traditional teapot or gaiwan, Aged White Tea ( 5+ years) is the perfect companion for your thermal flask.

    ​Because of the flask’s superior heat retention, it keeps the water at an optimal high temperature for an extended period, which is ideal for unlocking the hidden depth and viscosity of aged white tea. Unlike traditional brewing, the controlled environment of a flask creates a tea soup that is exceptionally smooth, rich, and mellow, with absolutely no bitterness or astringency.

    ​My recommendation for the perfect cup:

    ​Tea-to-Water Ratio: Use only half the amount of tea leaves compared to your standard brewing method.

    ​Method: Fill the flask to the brim with boiling water and seal it.

    ​Time: Let it steep for 4 hours.

    ​After 4 hours, you will be rewarded with a bottle of tea that is arguably even better than what you would get from a traditional gaiwan—truly a testament to the magic of patient brewing.

  • A: While many teas offer antioxidants, Wuyi rock tea(Yancha )stands out for its unique "Rock Rhyme" (Yan Yun) and rich essential minerals . Since marathon running causes significant electrolyte loss, the natural minerals found in Yancha offer a deep-level replenishment. Combined with its "vivacity, sweetness, clarity, and fragrance," it effectively calms the nervous system and facilitates a serene post-race recovery —a psychological and sensory comfort that ordinary teas simply cannot match.

    —————————————————--

    Funder’s notes

    Tea and long-distance running share a common essence—both require time, patience, and a continuous pursuit of self-transcendence.

    ​I firmly believe that the best replenishment is not industrial additives, but the pure power bestowed by nature. A cup of warm Wuyi rock tea(Yancha )is a comforting companion for a runner after the race. Born from the cracks in the rocks and crafted through traditional roasting, the steady "rock essence" of the tea is the perfect response to the beauty of "finding sweetness after the grind."

    Liwei from THÉ DE ROCHE

  • A: Just like cooking, different ingredients require different heat levels. A temperature of 80°C–90°C is indeed perfect for delicate green teas, Matcha, and lightly-roasted (low-fire) Oolongs, as it prevents bitterness and preserves freshness. However, for deeply roasted or aged teas like Wuyi rock tea(Yancha), aged white tea, or Pu-erh tea, this temperature is insufficient to unlock their aromas. Much like you cannot stew beef with the heat used for sautéed asparagus, these teas require boiling water (100°C) to fully awaken their character.

    —————————————————--Funder’s notes:

    Many guests ask me: "It's just tea; can't I use whatever temperature I like?" My answer is: Of course. Just as you can cook with any heat you prefer, nobody will stop you. But to truly unlock the "soul" of an ingredient, there is usually one most precise "technique."

    It’s like preparing a prime steak: a Michelin-starred chef precisely controls time and temperature to lock in the juiciness. Caviar must be served raw to taste the ocean's gift, and foie gras must be seared to that perfect threshold—a second too long makes it greasy, a second too short leaves it bland. Brewing fine tea is no different. The delicate elegance of green tea, the freshness of light-roast Oolongs, and the profound body of Wuyi Yancha or aged Pu-erh—each demands its own "perfect heat."

    It’s not that the tea becomes "undrinkable" otherwise; it’s simply about choosing the best path to elevate its aroma. The joy of tea lies in this respect for and exploration of the "perfect heat." Every adjustment is a step toward discovering the artistic limits of a tea's flavor.

    Liwei from THÉ DE ROCHE

  • A: Tea is highly absorbent and sensitive to light, humidity, and odors. Follow these rules: Keep it dark, cool, dry, and away from strong odors. Ensure your tea is stored in an airtight container, isolated from spices, perfumes, or any pungent foods. If possible, keep the storage temperature below 25°C.

    Funder’s notes:

    According my own experience, refrigeration helps preserve freshness for certain delicate teas:​To premium green tea,I recommend storing it in the freezer to lock in its vibrant freshness and umami for 2 years.

    ​Lightly Fermented Teas (e.g., Ya Shi Xiang/Oolong): Please store these in the refrigerator to maintain their delicate floral and fruity notes.

    ​Matcha: As a fine powder, it oxidizes rapidly. Keep it sealed tightly and stored in the refrigerator after eachuse.

    You can open the teas immediately after taking it out of the fridge.

    Enen so, still kindly remind that even the highest quality tea will naturally lose its vibrancy over time. I believe in the philosophy of "Freshness First."

    So better purchase quantities that match your drinking habits, such as 50g, 100g, or 150g, more frequently ensures that every cup of tea you enjoy is at its peak freshness.

  • We specialize in authentic Wuyi Rock Tea (Yancha). All our teas are sourced directly from the "Zheng Yan" (Core Rock) heartland—the most prestigious micro-regions in the Wuyi Mountains: Da Keng Kou (Big Pit Mouth) and Wu Yuan Jian (Five Sources Ravine), where just as the world-renowned vineyards of Bordeaux or Burgundy are classified as "Grand Cru" due to their unique soil, elevation, and micro-climate. These two areas are the "crown jewels" of Wuyi rock tea production.

    ‍ ‍ Our collection features classic cultivars including Da Hong Pao, Daffodil (Shuixian), and Rou Gui (Cinnamon). Whether you prefer the bright floral notes of a light roast or the deep, dark, and soul-warming intensity of a high-charcoal roast, you are tasting the purest expression of our core-origin terroir.

    Funder’s notes:

    Each April, I travel to the Wuyi Mountains to oversee our tea sourcing. ​I have partnered with local farmers for over a decade. Every batch is hand-picked by these artisans on steep mountain trails and transported manually. This direct, labor-intensive process ensures the authentic product origin and preserves the high-altitude vitality of every leaf. We are committed to bringing these limited-yield, core-origin teas directly from these specific plots to your cup.

  • When the seasons change or when the throat feels irritated, we suggest three staples: Aged White Tea , Xin-Hui Chenpi (Citrus-ripened ) Pu’erh tea and White chrysanthemum herbal tea.

    ​Xin-Hui Chenpi Pu’erh (2014 Harvest): Our Chenpi is sourced from the renowned Xin-Hui region in Guangdong China, famous for its medicinal quality. The natural sweetness of the 12-year aged citrus peel balances perfectly with the Pu’erh Shu, creating a silky, smooth infusion that is incredibly soothing. It’s naturally sweet, gentle on the throat, and holds up for multiple steepings throughout the day.

    ​2018 Aged White Tea (Xishuangbanna, Yunnan): This arbor-tree white tea has aged for 8 years, developing a deep, mellow profile. As we say in the tea world, "One year is tea, three years is medicine, seven years is a treasure." This tea is exceptionally smooth—never bitter or astringent—making it perfect for brewing in a thermos. It provides long-lasting comfort and hydration for your throat.

    White Chrysanthemum Herbal Tea (Caffeine-Free): For those sensitive to caffeine, this is our top choice. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a sore throat is often a sign of "internal heat." High-quality chrysanthemum helps clear heat, detoxify, and soothe the eyes. It is caffeine-free and delicious either hot or iced with a touch of honey or rock sugar.

    Funder’s notes:

    Not all teas are created equal. If you are struggling with a sore throat, avoid low-quality, mass-produced, or "artificially aged" teas. These lack the authentic medicinal benefits and can sometimes aggravate irritation. My rule of thumb: True quality is tested by time. If a tea is suspiciously cheap, it won't deliver the soothing results you need. Choose tea with clear provenance.

    ‍ ‍ If your throat irritation persists, consistency is key. Don't just drink one cup—I recommend sticking to your chosen tea for at least three consecutive days to allow the body to balance and recover.

  • Funder’s notes:

    Honesty is at the heart of my business. Many customers often ask if there is a specific tea or herbal that can "cure" or "relieve" menstrual cramps. In my 20 years of experience with Chinese tea and herbal traditions, I must be clear: Tea is a beverage, a health supplement, not a medical treatment.

    ​While certain warm herbal infusions can provide comfort and relaxation, no single tea/herbal can replace professional medical advice for period pain. I caution against products that promise "cures," as they often over-promise.

    ​If you are looking for comfort during this time, I recommend focusing on warmth and hydration:

    ​Warmth over everything: Many find that keeping the body warm with a gentle, caffeine-free herbal drink helps them relax. Avoid all cold or iced beverages or cool food.

    ​Listen to your body: If your pain is severe, please consult a medical professional. Your health is the priority, and a tea shop should never be the substitute for a doctor.

    ​I prefer to offer teas that support your overall well-being rather than making medical claims that aren't grounded in reality.
