Bai Ji Guan 白雞冠, from Mandarin "White Cockscomb" 🐔, is a rare dark wulong tea (oolong), the first tea from ho yum tea that comes from the heart of the Wuyi Shan mountain range, a piece of land known as Full Rock Tea 正岩, considered the most prestigious in the tea world!
 
Original rock tea from the Yinping summit of Xing village, grows on yellow rocky soil rich in minerals. The leaves were harvested in the traditional method in a narrow timeframe - immediately after xiao man 小滿 and before the rainy season starts.
 
Small and soft leaves which undergoes a moderate-level of oxidation and light baking of 30 hours only, at a temperature of 90°c degrees.
 
An antithesis to the popular modern wulong, this relatively "green" yan cha has a look and profile reminiscent of Sheng Pu'er. A thick yellowish drink with an unfiltered appearance. First infusions provide fresh and mineral profile, which gradually becomes thicker and fuller with later infusions.
 
A well balanced tea with Yang tendency, complex woody-fruity finish and a drink that varies infinitely between infusions. Recommended for drinking in the first part of the day throughout the year.
 
Package contains separately packed portions in a dedicated aluminum bag to maintain the freshness and wholeness of the leaves.
 
Festive tea for advanced drinkers, substituting Rou Gui 2020 as the highest grading out of all our Fujian Wulongs for 2022. Prestigious grade of tea under the radar in a very limited edition. One of the best teas we've ever tried.
