Rougui (Wuyi Rock Tea)

Rougui tea, belonging to Wuyi Rock Tea, hails from the Wuyi Mountains in China. The unique terroir there, with its well - drained rocky soil, mild climate, and misty air, nurtures the tea bushes. The dry leaves are tightly rolled and dark green with a tinge of brownish - red. When brewed, it offers a complex aroma, featuring a strong cinnamon - like scent, a roasted or "fire - baked" aroma, and delicate floral and fruity notes. Its flavor is bold yet well - balanced, with a spicy cinnamon kick upfront, complemented by a sweet, honey - like taste and a smooth texture. The finish is long - lasting, leaving a lingering aftertaste in the mouth. Moreover, it's rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, offering various health benefits such as protecting against free radical damage, having anti - inflammatory properties, and aiding digestion.
