Wuyi Star Tea: Da Hong Pao, Rougui & Rock Oolong

Chinese Tea Brands & Companies

Wuyi Star, also styled Wuyistar, is a Chinese tea company based in Wuyishan, Fujian. Founded by He Yixin in October 2001, the company works across tea propagation, growing, processing, sales and research. Its clearest product identity is Wuyi rock oolong, including Da Hong Pao, Rougui and Shuixian.

Company at a glance

Main business and services

Wuyi Star’s business begins with tea plants and extends to finished tea. Its official introduction covers cultivation, processing, retail, research, tea tourism, cultural products and tea-culture activities. Stores, online channels, tasting events and training provide different ways for customers to encounter the teas.

The product range is organized around both named tea types and collections. Some collections emphasize a recognizable house style; others focus on growing sites, cultivars, older tea bushes or gift presentation. This makes the name of the individual selection more informative than the brand alone.

Representative products and their features

Hongyun Da Hong Pao 3.0

The Hongyun 3.0 collection offers Da Hong Pao in several formats, including vertical packs, six-, nine- and thirty-session presentations, and named gift selections. The company presents the range around a full, aromatic rock-tea style. Its earlier Hongyun page describes medium roasting for the vertical-pack product and ripe-fruit sweetness for the Jinxiu selection.

These descriptions belong to particular products and editions. When comparing boxes, check the net weight and dose per packet as well as the collection name. The official catalogue contains different versions of Hongyun, so older packaging should be read in its own context.

Baigu 3.0: tea by growing site

Baigu is the company’s site-focused collection. The 3.0 gold selection lists teas such as Huiyuankeng Rougui, Jinjiaoyi Rougui, Maoershi old-bush Shuixian, Tianzhufeng Shuixian, Wuyuanjian old-bush Shuixian and Yuchayuan old-tree Rougui.

The silver selection lists a different set of locations, including Daoshuikeng, Jinjishe, Liuxiangjian and Shuiliandong. For someone learning about Wuyi tea, the useful distinction is the combination of growing site and cultivar printed on the particular product. “Baigu” is a collection name spanning those selections.

Star collections: Rougui and Shuixian

The wider Star series includes Weiyu, Nianlun, Yanxu, Congkui and Guiguan, Zhenyan, Yanxiang and Hanmoxiang collections. Nianlun includes Rougui and old-bush Shuixian; Yanxu also offers Rougui and Shuixian, positioned by the company for approachable everyday drinking. Weiyu explores smaller growing environments and their individual character.

The catalogue also lists Yuncang Da Hong Pao and Classic Old Flavour collections. These give buyers further ways to explore the brand, with product-specific information needed to compare roasting, production date and storage history.

Tea gardens, research and the “Star Standard”

The official resource pages describe tea gardens around Wuyishan, tea research facilities and a germplasm collection. Named locations include Jiulongshan, routes along Jiulongke and Tianyou, and the tea research institute’s gardens. The company also describes quality assessment of both base-produced material and tea purchased from outside growers.

Its “Star Standard” is presented as a company quality framework covering the route to a finished cup. The resource page separates quality evaluation, product development and laboratory work, including routine testing and research-related analysis. Buyers seeking a particular origin or certification can ask for documentation relating to the named product.

Tea culture and customer experience

Beyond retail tea, the company presents tasting events, a tea-friend club and Xingyuan Tea Culture training. Its website links to physical sales locations and official online stores. These channels are useful for arranging tastings and comparing collections before choosing a gift or a tea to drink regularly.
