“No Tea is having better aroma than Rou Gui”

Rou Gui (肉桂), translated as “Cinnamon”, is famous of its high aroma. There is a common phrase to describe this Tea – “ No Tea is having better aroma than Rou Gui, and no Tea is soft and smooth like Shui Xian”, which indicated the signature of Rou Gui – High Aroma.

People may doubt that is it made of Cinnamon? Rou Gui actually has no relations with the plant of Cinnamon. In Fact, Rou gui is strong, sharp and spicy in taste, which is commonly related to the Gui Pi aroma, and “Gui Pi” means the Chinese Cinnamon.

This batch of Rou Gui is harvested in 2021 Spring and made into medium roast level. After three years of storage, it is slightly transformed with a mellow taste. It is still apparent in its strong flavour and spiciness in the first few brews, but it is transformed into a mellow taste with amazing fruitiness. The long-lasting aroma allows multiple infusions, and a woody and forest rhyme can be found in later steeps.

Making Process:

This Rougui is in medium roasting level. After plucking the tea leaves, it undergoes steps of sun-drying, withering, shaking/”Yao Qing”, kill-green, rolling, first-time roasting, shaping, and second-time roasting.
