Shengtai Rougui 2023

Tea – Yancha Wulong
Harvest – Spring 2023
Origin – Xingcun Wuyishan


Shengtai means something like biodiversity. This style of farming is a bit different from the usual. In 2021, the farmer took what was a previously normal tea garden and decided to grow tea avoiding any kind of pesticides and herbicides, just letting the tea garden grow in a more “wild” way. The only product used is a fertilizer derived from rape seeds.

Rougui is one of the most beloved Yancha cultivars combining depth of flavor and aromatics that can change and reflect specific terroirs making each Rougui different. Rougui is always one of our best selling teas.

Shengtai Rougui 2023 is a smooth tea with nice flavors. The tea is well processed and it has one charcoal roasting. This lighter processing lets the Rougui aromatics and complexity come out even stronger while still retaining a nice and clean aftertaste. A nice tea for any occasion.

We decided to offer this tea in two versions: one or two charcoal roastings. This is the one roast version but you decide what style you prefer!

Brewing tips

Rou Gui is 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 to room temperature, this way we think certain flavors will be more clear and will end your tea session on the highest note as the first infusion is one of 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.
