Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Xingcun Wuyishan
Shengtai means something like biodiversity. This style of farming is a bit different from the usual. In 2021, the farmer took what was a previously normal tea garden and decided to grow tea avoiding any kind of pesticides and herbicides, just letting the tea garden grow in a more “wild” way. The only product used is a fertilizer derived from rape seeds.
Rougui is one of the most beloved Yancha cultivars combining depth of flavor and aromatics that can change and reflect specific terroirs making each Rougui different. Rougui is always one of our best selling teas.
Shengtai Rougui 2023 is a smooth tea with nice cozy flavors being charcoal roasted 2 times. The excellent processing of this tea gives it intense and delicious roasted notes, without overwhelming the tea character letting the Rougui aromatics and complexity come out and linger in a nice and clean aftertaste.
A tea for any occasion for those who enjoy a more roasty Yancha.
We decided to offer this tea in two versions: this one has one extra charcoal roast. You decide what style you prefer.

| Brewing tips | Rou Gui is a bit tricky to brew, be careful to avoid over-steeping and excessive bitterness by trying short brewing times at first. We reccomend saving the first infusion to drink as last after it cooled down to room temperature, this way we think certain flavors 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. |
