⛰️ The King of Rock Tea ⛰️
Most celebrated Oolong from Wuyi Mountains, renowned for its cinnamon power and mineral complexity


📖 THE SUCCESSOR LEGACY
When China's tea experts sought to crown a successor to the legendary Dahongpao in 1980s, Rougui emerged victorious with its explosive "cinnamon spice". Tea from Niulan Canyon ("Beef") now commands higher prices per gram than gold, becoming the ultimate symbol of Oolong connoisseurship.


👨🍳 CHARCOAL ALCHEMY

  • Mature Plucking:Harvested at "three-leaf stage" for maximum aroma compounds

  • Intensive Withering:Sun-withered then indoor-shaded until 15% moisture loss

  • Green-making Dance:8-10 alternating shakes and rests create "red-edged leaves"

  • Double Roasting:180℃ fixation locks scent, kneading forms "dragonfly head" shape

  • Slow Charcoal Baking:20 hours at 60-85℃ builds legendary "rock rhyme"


🌸 SENSORY REVELATION

  • Color:Bright orange-gold with olive-green leaves edged in crimson

  • Aroma:Bold cinnamon spice → creamy milk → preserved peach in cooled cup

  • Taste:Peppery attack transforms into mineral richness with cool minty finish

  • Leaves:Tightly curled strips with iridescent sheen, unfurling to reveal "red border"


💎 CULTURAL PHENOMENON
✅ Genetic Marvel:National tea cultivar dominating Wuyi production
✅ Aroma Evolution:Cinnamaldehyde & linalool create 5+ distinct scent layers
