Wuyi Mountain Rou Gui Oolong Tea - character and origin from Fujian
Wuyi Mountain Rou Gui Oolong Tea is a distinctive oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China. Rou Gui is one of the renowned Wuyi oolongs and is characterized by dark brown, elongated and slightly curled tea leaves.
The flavor profile is roasted and spicy, with a full and aromatic taste. Warm roasted nuances are combined with Rou Gui's characteristic spicy character and subtle fruity notes reminiscent of ripe peach.
Rou Gui is produced in the mountainous Wuyishan region of Fujian, an area known for its traditional rock oolongs, also called Yan Cha. The combination of origin, oxidation and roasting gives this tea its deep, layered and long-lasting character.
