Rougui

(肉桂茶)

Rougui is an oolong tea that hails from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian. It is one of the most esteemed Wuyi rock teas known for its persistent and complex aromas. Though roasting levels may differ, the tea will usually have brown, bright, and curly leaves.


The brewed tea is clear, orange-yellow to amber, and has a long-lasting, warm, and sweet floral aroma. The flavor is mellow, smooth, floral, and fruity, often displaying woody and mineral notes, while the finish is long and sweet. As it matures, rougui tea will typically become milder.


It can be paired with seafood.
