Anxi Rou Gui Oolong Tea
Anxi Rou Gui Oolong Tea
Other names: Wuyi Cassia Bark, Cinnamon teaRou Gui is a very famous old Wuyi tea-type known for its rich, slightly spicy flavours. The Anxi varieties tend to be more lightly baked than traditional Wuyi Rou Gui’s.
Our Buyer’s notes
“Wuyi Rou Gui is a famous Wuyi ‘rock oolong’ but the Rou Gui varietal actually originated from Anxi and was then taken to Wuyi, so Anxi is the original home of Rou Gui. We bought this tea unbaked and baked it ourselves so we could ensure it was finished the way we like it.”

This, as with the other Canton Tea Co. teas I've tasted, is delicious. Smooth, sweet, with a slight cinnamon or nutmeg flavor to it
For green tea lovers who are looking for a more pungent flavor than what plain greens have to offer, this would be a good tea to try
