“This Rou Gui didn’t stand out to me in any way, it’s fairly standard.” Read full tasting note
After a long time, we were able to find Wu Yi teas that are affordable and in this context match our ideas of what the traditional Yan Cha (Cliff or Rock Oolong, as these teas are sometimes called) to fulfill. It is a blend of tea from the inner Wu Yi (Zhen Yan) and tea from the outer Wu Yi (Ban Yan) from traditional cultivars, roasted three times on charcoal in the traditional style. The teas are produced by one of the oldest companies in the Wu Yi area under the guidance of experienced tea masters and are traditionally packed in rice paper.
