“It’s not the time of year where I find myself gravitating much more heavily towards brewing yancha/roasted oolongs, but Rougui is still one of my favourites so I make time for it in my rotation....” Read full tasting note
“Not as good as the YS selection. Nose; toasted grain, clove, gardenia, lychee. Palate; slight sweet spice otherwise similar to nose.” Read full tasting note

Description

Due to its typical terroir, the Wuyi Mountains region produces teas known as “rock teas” including the famous Rou Gui. The infusion of its large twists liberates warm notes of bark, spices and roasted nuts. Its lively and fruity (green apple) liquor evolves towards a finish marked by the mildly spicy flavor of Chinese cinnamon, a literal translation of Rou Gui!
