WUYI ROCK-ESSENCE TEAS
CRAFTED IN SINGAPORE
Wuyishan is the sacred birthplace of the holy grail of tea in China. Leaves harvested from tea plants in the prime growing areas in Wuyishan are acclaimed to possess enviable potential to deliver unparalleled intensity and richness in teas. Celebrated for their profound flavors and intricate aromas, they are symbols of luxury, prestige, and cultural refinement.
Our long and meticulous work begins with managing prestigious tea plants in Wuyishan. Upon harvesting, the precious leaves are partially processed onsite before transferring to our facility in Singapore.
At first glance, our variants of Wuyi rock-essence teas look similar to the traditional tea from Wuyishan. Afterall, the design of our processing is modelled on traditional wuyi rock-essence tea processing.
But Fort Sanctuary specialty teas are inspired by the heritage of the legendary Wuyi rock-essence teas produced in China in the 1950–60s and subsequently aged in Singapore by collectors. These rare vintages have long been regarded by connoisseurs as exquisite collectibles for their historical and cultural significance.
With our new concept of actively marrying precise firings with resting/aging of leaves, Wuyi rock-essence teas crafted in Singapore exhibit unique expressions distinctly different from the prevailing works by native masters in Wuyishan or elsewhere. The differences are evident upon in-depth analysis.

a tribute
to earlier generations
of singaporeans
In a way, our bold expression of Wuyi rock- essence teas, a kingly tea with Chinese provenance crafted in Singapore with a unique sequence of challenging firings and restings, reminds us how far our generations of Chinese Singaporeans have come.
As part of Singapore contemporary history, early generations of Chinese Singaporeans arrived as immigrants from China and held on to their identity as Chinese in the early days, sending back every penny they earned and saved to China. They went through turbulent times, from the darkest days during the second world war to the early days of nation building.
Today, the younger generation are integrated into a larger multiracial whole, uniquely Singapore, though the color of our skin never change.
