Description

From the crown jewel of Wuyi's Three Pits and Two Gorges, One Cliff Nine Cauldrons Rou Gui Oolong embodies a storied lineage and terroir. Cradled by nine dragon-like ridges, it sits near the Da Hong Pao mother trees. Locals call Rou Gui 'Dragon’s Flesh' for its mythic complexity, a testament to patient craftsmanship and centuries-old processing that preserves evolving character.

Each cup reveals refinement: dense leaves with iron-ore sheen release a cinnamon-bark aroma layered with orchid nectar and petrichor. The liquor is honey-thick yet nimble, delivering stewed apricots, roasted ginseng, and a cool mint finish across multiple infusions. After 12+ sessions, infused leaves turn emerald-bronze, proof of durability and ongoing intrigue. Production is intentionally limited, offering timeless value for collectors seeking provenance and a signature sensory experience.
