Erik EllestadGolden Water Turtle (Shui Jin Gui) Rock Tea from Tong Xin She Teahouse seems an auspicious way to end the year. Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve!
Iron Arhat (Tue Luo Han) is always one of my favorite rock teas. This is a very nice (2022) example from Rivers and Lakes Tea.

The room is full and people are ready to hear more about this kind of tea and drink some of it.
Only 1/5 of people heard about it before, the presentation starts now!
"It tastes like licking a stone" is how many people reflect on the minerality of it.

White Rooster Crest is usually processed as a low oxidation, low roast rock tea. Almost more like a green tea than an Oolong. Subtly flavored, it is a rock tea varietal I struggle to appreciate.
Moving my traditional winter rock tea fiesta up a bit this year, from starting after Thanksgiving to starting after Halloween. Golden Water Turtle (Shui Jin Gui) rock tea from Rivers and Lakes.
What tea do you drink on your birthday? Do you pick a special tea or a special type of tea? Or just drink your usual teas? I picked this "Lotus Peak Shui Xian" from Tong Xin She Teahouse as a special tea to start the day and the next year of my life.

Vincent told me this year's MyTeaPal Club rock teas, (April, 2025,) are nicer than the batch from last year, (February, 2024,) but this Dong Pian Rou Gui from last year IS actually very good. Medium-Heavy Oxidation and roast, a bit uncommon in modern rock tea producers.
2023 Dong Pian Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) from MyTeaPal Club. Working through some samples backlog, a very nice rock tea blend.
