Bishi Rou Gui 2017 碧石肉桂 from Wuyishan, Fujian province, China

Bai Rui Xiang 百瑞香 has over 100 years of history, originating in Hui Yuan Keng, which is a famous valley within the Wuyi protected reserve. The dry leaves have an aroma of Chinese medicinal herbs, and the tea itself is very aromatic - floral, with sweet fruit, and sandalwood. The flavour reflects it's light to medium roast, sweet on the tongue with a cinnamon donut aftertaste! The mouth & throat feel is thick and smooth as you'd expect from a premium zhengyan rock oolong. These are high quality leaves, look out for the dried orange peel note on the aftertaste, and the creamy aroma left behind in the empty cup!
