Description
Spring Delux Wuyi Horse Rock Rougui Oolong - War Horse
Oolong Tea
This Delux Horse Rock Rougui (Mǎtóu yán Rougui , 馬頭岩肉桂) is grown on the rocky mountain in Wuyishan and every leaf is handpicked and delicately roasting this tea in bamboo baskets over charcoal embers to bring out the natural minerality of the Ancient Wuyi Shan.
It is medium to heavy roasted which gives a intoxicating charcoal & dark chocolate savory-sweet notes followed by a stunning and long lasting Wuyi Rock mineral note (a mixture of wet rock & unmami) which inspire us naming it War Horse. It then followed by a delightful bittersweet and the mix of mineral, charcoal and chocolate lingers in mouth and nasal cavity.
