Description

Rougui tea (肉桂), also known as “Cinnamon tea” or “Cassia tea,” is a highly regarded and distinct variety of Chinese oolong tea. Originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, Rougui tea has gained worldwide recognition for its unique flavor profile and captivating aroma reminiscent of cinnamon.

The leaves of Rougui tea are carefully hand-picked and skillfully processed to preserve their quality and essence. The tea leaves undergo a meticulous process of oxidation and semi-fermentation, resulting in a beautifully balanced oolong tea.

Brewing

Rougui tea is best brewed using Gongfu-style tea preparation, which involves using a small teapot and multiple short infusions to bring out the tea’s full flavor and aroma. A teapot can also be used, steeping time -2-3 minute. We recommend brewing temperature of 90-95°C
