Rou Gui is one of the most famous rock teas and a sip of this tea will make it immediately apparent why. The rich chocolaty scent of the dry leaf, with its teasing hints of fruitiness, implore us to get on with the brewing. Having done so, a dark amber-red liquor will taunt you with gentle hints of cinnamon wafting up to tease your nose. The first sip? Granite, clean dry woodiness and that silky unique spin on cinnamon that only Rou Gui can muster. It’s like a cinnamon stick, avoiding the brashness of ground or cooked cinnamon and combining with the stoic rockiness inherent in yan cha, creating an almost indescribable flavour of its own. This is all wrapped in a mouthfeel that warms and comforts to your very core.
