Wuyi Rock Oolong – Rou Gui (Cinnamon Oolong)
loose leaf | oolong
From: $18.98
Rou Gui, our Cinnamon Oolong, is sweet and rich with dry cinnamon notes. Known also as Wuyi Cassia Oolong and Yu Gui Oolong, this is another of Fujian province’s famous ‘rock’ oolongs.
This tea is 40 to 50 percent oxidized. The dark, greenish-brown, lightly curled, long leaves carry the subtly sweet and spicy aroma of cassia, a cinnamon-like bark.
The liquor is very clear, golden amber which has a honey, orchid aroma and a full, rich, very slightly smoky flavor with a lingering citrus aftertaste.

Honey cereal, green apple, a roast coffee-ish smoke, holiday cinnamon cookies, caramel in the aroma! It’s well balanced with a subtly dry texture alluding back to that namesake, very comforting across the board.
I was gifted this product for a partnership, but what a great oolong! I particularly like this one paired with desserts.
