Oolong Tea Wuyi Rock - Shan Bai Ji Guan 10g Premium Leaf
Wuyi Rock Oolong: Rare White Rooster's Comb Tea
From the UNESCO-protected Wuyi Mountains comes Shan Bai Ji Guan, a prestigious member of China's "Four Big Bushes" (Si Da Ming Cong) oolong teas. Distinguished by its yellow-green leaves that shimmer white in sunlight, this rare cultivar draws exceptional character from Wuyi's volcanic terroir. The luminous golden liquor offers a sophisticated progression of flavors - opening with pronounced fruit notes before revealing layers of chocolate, peach, and orchid essence.
Harvested during the prime spring months, each leaf undergoes precise low-temperature processing to preserve its delicate aromatics. The result is a refined tea that perfectly balances subtle sweetness with complex mineral notes, culminating in a honey-cinnamon finish that lingers elegantly.
