Watch the Gongfu brewing of our Rou Gui Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea (Cinnamon) – 2020 Classic

The 2020 Classic Rou Gui Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea Sample is a Chinese tea with a rich history, cherished for centuries.

Characteristics

  • The name "Rou Gui," meaning "Cinnamon," reflects its signature spicy fragrance and distinctive cinnamon aroma.
  • Grown in the exceptional environment of Wuyi Mountain, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, Rou Gui tea thrives in a unique landscape of Danxia landforms and lush vegetation.
  • The mineral-rich, well-draining red sandy soil, formed from weathered rocks, imparts the tea with its distinctive "rock essence," a hallmark of Wuyi Rock Teas.
  • The dry leaves are tightly twisted, with a glossy, dark hue that hints at the tea's depth and richness.

Flavor

  • When brewed, Rou Gui tea unveils a rich amber liquor, releasing its signature cinnamon fragrance, complemented by delicate floral and aged notes.
  • Aged for 5 years, the tea is full-bodied and smooth, perfectly balancing its robust rock essence with a sweet and mellow finish.

No Secrets

The Terroir Speaks Through Every Leaf

Know Where Your Tea Comes From

Origin isn’t just a label — it’s the soul of the tea.

It is the land and the tea trees tended by generations of tea farmers, a living heritage passed down through time in harmony with nature.

Achieving Authenticity Through Tradition

Traditional craftsmanship cannot scale to mass production.

We honor this authentic essence, preserving every genuine step.
We could produce more tea, but we choose to craft better.
