Description

An oolong with exceptional flavours

Harvested in the Wuyi Mountains, this rock tea comes from Rou Gui tea plants whose name means „cinnamon" – a nod to its spicy notes. It is a medium-oxidised oolong, elevated by a pronounced roast that gives it its strength and minerality. Intense aromas of red and dark fruits interlace with roasted accents that hint at caramel, minerals and spice. Pure artistry!
