Xiao Zhu Lin Rougui | Wuyi Rock Oolong β Cinnamon, Bamboo & Floral Honey
Pure. Refined. Unmistakably Rougui. β Xiao Zhu Lin Rougui
Grown on the half-rock terrain of Xiao Zhu Lin β a site kissed by bamboo groves and mountain mist β this Wuyi Rock Oolong is a textbook expression of zheng wei (ζ£ε³) Rougui: clean, true, and deeply satisfying. For those who know what authentic Rougui should taste like, this is it.
A Cinnamon Aroma That Is Pure & Precise
The hallmark of great Rougui is a cinnamon-bark fragrance that is bold yet clean β no muddiness, no off-notes. Xiao Zhu Lin delivers exactly that: a bright, precise cassia-cinnamon aroma layered with sweet floral and fruit-honey notes, arriving in perfect clarity with every steep.
The Bamboo Grove Signature
What sets Xiao Zhu Lin apart is its unique terroir. The surrounding bamboo forest lends the leaves a subtle, cool bamboo-leaf freshness β a delicate green, clean sweetness that weaves through the cinnamon and honey, adding a dimension of lightness and vitality that is rare in rock oolongs. A whisper of fresh, woody greenness rounds out every cup.
Smooth, Full & Deeply Resonant
In the cup, the liquor is silky and gentle on entry β no harshness, no astringency. The yun (ι΅) β that deep, resonant aftertaste that defines great Wuyi rock tea β is present and lasting. Sweet floral honey notes linger in the throat, while a clean, refreshing woody freshness keeps the finish bright and alive.

Product Description
Product Description
Xiao Zhu Lin Rougui is a half-rock (ε岩) Wuyi Rock Oolong grown on the slopes of Xiao Zhu Lin β a site distinguished by its surrounding bamboo groves and the cool, clean mountain air they bring. The half-rock terrain provides the mineral foundation of classic Yancha, while the bamboo environment adds a signature freshness that sets this tea apart from standard Rougui.
The dry leaves carry a clean, precise cinnamon-bark fragrance β the unmistakable hallmark of zheng wei (ζ£ε³) Rougui. Upon brewing, the aroma opens into layers of sweet floral and fruit-honey notes, with a delicate bamboo-leaf coolness threading through. The liquor is smooth and full on entry, with no bitterness or astringency β just a gentle, satisfying warmth.
The yun (ι΅) β the deep, resonant aftertaste that defines great Wuyi rock tea β is rich and lasting. A clean, refreshing woody freshness lingers in the finish, keeping the cup lively and bright long after the last sip.
This is Rougui as it should be: pure, honest, and deeply expressive of its place.
