Dongpian Rougui 2018
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – November 2018
Origin – Xingcun, Wuyishan (Ban Yan)
It is said “Chun Shui, Qiu Xiang” literally meaning “spring water, autumn fragrance”: the spring tea has a much richer flavor, the autumn one is lighter and fragrant. We offer also the Rougui 2018 produced in the same farm and year but picked in spring, it can be quite interesting to compare them and see how different can these tea be depending on harvest and processing.
This winter tea has a relatively “light” processing with a buttery and fragrant flavor. It is lightly roasted in contrast with its spring brother to showcase its fragrance making it an interesting tea to compare. Some customer noticed a unique fragrance reminding them of jasmine flowers in this tea. You can try for yourself.
I think is quite a good price/value tea and quite suitable to refresh in the upcoming warm summer days.
It was offered as part of our May 2019 flavor of the month box, what is for sale now is really a limited quantity available until it lasts. Buy it while you can.
Price is for 50 g.
