| Cultivar | Rou Gui |
| Name | The name Rou Gui 肉桂 means "cassia", a type of chinese cinnamon. Zheng Yan 正岩 means "true rock/cliff" and indicates the tea grown in the World Heritage protected area considered the best location for yancha. Here the tea grows in narrow pits at the bottom of tall steep rock cliffs taking its name. Dao Shui Keng 倒水坑 is one of the locations in the zhengyan area and its name means reverse flowing water pit. Niu Rou 牛肉 is how is called the Rou Gui from the most prized location of all: Niu Lan Keng 牛栏坑 meaning cattle pen pit. Short for Niu (Lan Keng) Rou (Gui). This name might be so commonly used because Niu Rou 牛肉 literally means beef and is quite catchy. |
| Brewing tips | Rou Gui might be a bit tricky to brew, be careful to avoid over-steeping and excessive bitterness by trying short brewing times at first. We reccomend saving the first infusion to drink as last after it cooled down, this way we think the yanyun flavor will be more clear and will end your tea session on the highest note as the first infusion is the best! |
| Packaging | The tea comes in a tin like the one in the picture. Be careful when opening the tin: please use a tool acting as lever to open the tin instead of your nails. |
