Sanyangfeng Rougui 2021 – Zhengyan
Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2021
Origin – San Yang Feng, Zhengyan
An exceptional Zhengyan Rougui with a very limited production and availability, compared to regular growing conditions, the yield of these plants for the area is extremely low and therefore has a pretty steep price. I think however drinking this tea reflects this concentration of flavor.
This tea is a powerful and intense experience filled with complex flavors and aromatics. It is rare to find a tea with such strength in every aspect. The clear expression of the cultivar and terroir are highlighted by the excellent processing and the deep charcoal roasting balances even further the tea that manages to be both extremely aromatic and extremely flavorful. A tea that commands attention for many steeps.
We suggest this to our long term customers and experienced drinkers, as usual we strongly recommend to save a cup from the very first infusion/rinse aside to drink as last at room temperature.

| 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. |
