San Yang Feng Rou Gui 2024
San Yang Feng 三仰峰, direct translation into "Three Peaks of Respect or Worship", is know to be the highest peak of Mount Wuyi. Because this is a Zheng Yan tea with nutrient rich and well irrigated soil, biodiverse environment, and a high altitude peak; leaves produced from the tea trees from this peak garden is sublime. This offering I have available is a high fragranced Rou Gui that is excellently crafted with a very rich minerally finish. When brewed dark and strong in a small vessel with quick steeps, we can detect more of the volatile ambrosial fruit notes along with hints of herbal grass jelly.
One tip and suggestion is to keep a small cup of the first brew and allow it to completely cool. Go back and try it after you finish your tea session. You'll be amazed how delicious it can be.
Rou Gui "Cassia Bark" varietal is the most popular choice of varietal in the region right now and can taste vastly different when crafted by different makers or harvested from different mountain gardens.
I highly recommend this Rou Gui and the other ones from different revered gardens in my collection as well.
There is a few carefully selected Rou Gui in the collection:
- Ma Tou Yan "Five Horse Cliff" Rou Gui
- Hui Yuan Rou Gui
- Jiu Long Ke "Gorge of Nine Dragons" Rou Gui
