Wuyi Huang Mei Gui
Wuyi Huang Mei Gui
Huang Mei Gui, or "Yellow Rose," is renowned for its captivating floral character, offering a sensory experience that lingers. This medium-high fire charcoal roasted batch enhances the tea’s depth and elegance, showcasing a refined complexity.
Aroma and Flavor
The dry leaves release a rich, full-bodied caramel fragrance, warm and inviting. As the tea steeps, delicate rose notes emerge, beautifully interwoven with the roasted undertones. This evolution in aroma creates a soft, ethereal balance, giving way to a complex and sophisticated bouquet.
The tea liquor is thick and substantial, with a well-rounded, mellow body. Its flavor profile combines floral sweetness with mild minty undertones, balanced by a moderate sweetness that lingers in a pleasant, lasting finish. The extended roasting brings out the hidden delicacy of the rose fragrance, lending the tea a noble, refined elegance that leaves a graceful impression on the palate.
Aging Potential
Huang Mei Gui has the potential to age gracefully over time, developing additional complexity over the next five years, making it a rewarding tea to enjoy now or savor later.
