Zheng Yan Rou Gui

$99.00

Rou Gui tea is an Oolong tea, a representative variety of Wuyi Rock Tea, and belongs to the semi-fermented tea category. It gets its name from the unique cassia/cinnamon aroma inherent in the tea liquor.

It is one of the most recognizable and widely popular sub-categories among Rock Tea due to its distinct fragrance. Different types of Rougui can also develop layers of floral, fruity, or honey notes, resulting in a rich and complex bouquet. The tea liquor is oily and lustrous, appearing bright golden-yellow and intense like amber.

The mouthfeel is mellow and full-bodied, with a clear and pungent Rou Gui spiciness. It exhibits no bitterness or astringency, offers a swift Huigan, a prolonged Houyun, and high resistance to repeated brewing.

A Few Sincere Notes

  • Tea culture is part of Chinese heritage, but not part of the price.
    We focus exclusively on the quality of the tea leaves, avoiding excessive storytelling or marketing.

  • Tea is a healthy beverage, but personal taste is not strictly proportional to price. Your own enjoyment remains the most important standard.

  • There is no single correct way to enjoy tea. There are no absolute figures for tea dosage, water ratio, or water temperature. The suggestions we provide are general guidelines; you are free to adjust them flexibly according to your personal taste.

  • Sourced directly from Chinese tea farmers. The tea is ecologically grown, hand-picked, and delivered straight from the garden, ensuring safe and reliable quality.
