Packaging:
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.
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.

Absolutely fantastic quality. The layered aromas of wood and honey make every sip a delight. It brews beautifully and lasts through many infusions. A true classic from Wuyi.
The taste is bold and powerful. I love the cinnamon notes and the lingering sweetness. Packaging was neat and preserved the tea’s freshness well. Will buy again!
