Lion Mount Rougui 2022 – Zhengyan
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2022
Origin – Shi Zi Feng, Zhengyan
This Rougui comes from the Zhengyan protected area of Wuyishan. Due to the impervious nature and small size of this area, the tea produced here is not a large amount. Zhengyan tea, especially Zhengyan Rougui, is highly prized because this terroir can give tea a special flavor called Yan Yun, a name that can be translated as the melody of the cliffs.
This Rougui has a complex flavor balanced with a pronounced charcoal roasting flavor and the rich fragrance notes of the Rougui cultivar enriched by the subtle Yanyun. The tea has a nice mouthfeel and leaves a rich and lasting aftertaste with a mild and balanced sweetness.
An interesting choice for a focused session slowly sipping tea and experiencing its flavors.
Recommended for experienced drinkers. We strongly suggest to save a cup from the very first infusion/rinse aside to drink as last at room temperature.
Price is for 50 g.

| Cultivar | Rou Gui |
| Name | The name Rou Gui 肉桂 means "cassia", a type of chinese cinnamon. Zheng Yan 正岩 means "true rock/cliff" and indicates the tea grown in the World Heritage protected area considered the best location for yancha. Here the tea grows in narrow pits at the bottom of tall steep rock cliffs taking its name. |
| Brewing tips | We reccomend saving the first infusion to drink as last after it cooled down to room temperature, this way we think the yanyun flavor will be more clear and will end your tea session on the highest note as the first infusion is one of the best! |
| Packaging | The tea comes in a tin like the one in the picture. Be careful when opening the tin: please use a tool acting as lever to open the tin instead of your nails. |
