Description

There are four great varietals grown in the Wu Yi Shan district of Fujian province; the greatest of these is Bai Ji Guan or “White Cockscomb.” The leaf is relatively large but rather than the dark look of most yan cha, this one is pale yellowy/green. The dark rust color of the oxidized edges stands out markedly. The tea appears light but is deceptively rich and deep in flavor. The brew is incredibly smooth with not a harsh trace to it. The flavor has hints of stone fruit and a long “echo.” This is a rarest treat of a tea for anyone who loves the finest of oolong tea. It is a fine tribute to the labors of the Cao family.
