As part of my quest to better understand Wuyi oolongs, I am attempting to sample each of the Si Da Ming Cong. Bai Jiguan, or White Cockscomb, is the most uncommon and perhaps most unique of these cultivars, so I am glad that OWT stocks this tea.
Given that it is less oxidized than most other Wuyi, it has quite a distinct appearance, smell, and flavor profile. This tea also has undergone a lighter roast than most Wuyi. Mouthfeel is fairly full and astringency is medium low.
