Description

Classic Rou Gui "Cassia" 2024A fruity aromatic and mid high charcoal roasted Rou Gui Wuyi Rock Oolong. I know sought after Yan Chas or Rock Teas from the revered central region of the ecological reserve are very limited and can command astronomical prices. So, I had to work on securing a harvest of leaves, from a garden a little bit further away but is still within the reserve, to create a classic oolong tea with the aromatics and depth that embodies the classic characteristics

Once doused with boiling water

Locals from the area would occasionally make a visit from time to time in the Spring to collect fresh harvest leaves to make black tea for personal drinking

which makes it an excellent material to withstand traditional crating techniques that requires more vigorous tossing

Douse with boiling water around 208F - 212F

Brewing recommendations:

To my surprise the 2023 harvest showed notes of toasted chestnuts and a slightly thicker viscosity

we had to take a two to three hour hike into the ravine

I am pleased and excited to bring on the 2025 harvest with potentially a even deeper roast

One tip and suggestion is to keep a small cup of the first brew and allow it to completely cool

For longer brewing times

A high elevation and wild old grove Shui Xian from a revered garden

*Increase temperature and serving size/grams while keeping brewing times short to intensify brew
