A bold and full-bodied Wuyi Rou Gui with deep cinnamon notes, crafted from old tea bushes grown in the rocky cliffs of the Wuyi Mountains.

Strong, warm, and layered—this is a Rou Gui with depth and power.

This Old Tree Rou Gui (Lao Shu Rou Gui) is made from tea bushes over 30 years old, grown in the rocky terroir of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian. Older trees develop deep root systems that draw in more minerals, resulting in a tea that is naturally rich in flavor and structure.

Rou Gui is one of the most iconic Wuyi Yancha (rock teas), known for its signature cinnamon-like aroma and strong character. This version elevates it even further—with the complexity and strength that only aged bushes can offer.

Aroma
The fragrance is multi-layered and naturally integrated into the tea liquor. Beyond the signature spicy note of Rou Gui, you’ll also find hints of wood, dried flowers, and soft honey. It’s aromatic but not aggressive.

Taste
Thick and powerful. The first few infusions reveal a punch of spice and strength, while the middle steeps become rounder and sweeter. The finish is long and smooth, with a satisfying returning sweetness (hui gan) and salivation (sheng jin) that lingers.

Yan Yun (岩韵)
This tea delivers a clear and lasting “rock rhyme”—the mineral-heavy, echo-like aftertaste that defines great Wuyi teas. It leaves a cooling, aromatic sensation deep in the throat.

Structure
The tea is muscular yet balanced—what some call a tea with “backbone.” It creates a warming effect in the body, a sign of strength in traditional Chinese tea culture.

Brewing Notes
This tea performs beautifully over 8+ infusions. We recommend using a small teapot or brewing in gongfu style to appreciate its full range of textures and transformation across steeps.

Provenance & Craft
Produced by Ruo Lan Tea Factory, a third-generation family-run workshop in Nanping, Fujian, with over 50 years of experience in Wuyi tea. Their quiet dedication to traditional craftsmanship convinced us to feature this tea in our Wuyi Yancha collection.

Harvested in spring 2024, roasted the same season.
