Yan Zi Ke Rou Gui (燕子窠肉桂) Wuyi Rock Tea | Floral & Fruit-Honey Sweet | 250g / 500g

Yan Zi Ke Rou Gui (燕子窠肉桂) — Wuyi Rock Tea (武夷岩茶)

From the sheltered, bird-song-filled valley of Yan Zi Ke (燕子窠, "Swallow's Nest Gully") comes a Rou Gui that leads with beauty and delivers on every promise. High-soaring floral fragrance opens the cup, followed immediately by a wave of fruit-honey sweetness (果蜜甜香) that is warm, round, and deeply inviting. This is Rou Gui at its most approachable — bold enough to impress, gentle enough to drink every single day.

✦ Tasting Notes

Aroma: Soaring floral fragrance leads — bright, uplifting, and expressive; fruit-honey sweetness follows close behind, rich and enveloping
First Sip: Sweet from the very first drop — the liquor arrives sweet, not bitter, not astringent
Mouthfeel: Smooth and refined — silky on the palate, never rough or sharp
Finish: A full, satisfying mouth-watering salivation (生津) that lingers after every cup — clean, refreshing, and complete

✦ Your Perfect Everyday Rock Tea

This is a kou liang cha (口粮茶) — a daily drinker built for real life. No bitterness to push through, no astringency to wait out. Just floral fragrance, fruit-honey sweetness, and a smooth, generous cup that's ready to enjoy from the very first infusion. The kind of Rou Gui you reach for in the morning, at your desk, and after dinner — and never get tired of.
