Wuyi Huang Mei Gui

Huang Mei Gui, literally meaning "Yellow Rose," is celebrated for its distinctive floral character, which offers a truly captivating sensory experience. This particular batch is a medium-high fire charcoal roasted Huang Mei Gui, a roasting method that imparts a depth and refinement to the tea, bringing out a complex yet elegant profile. The initial aroma is dominated by a rich, full-bodied caramel fragrance, which is warm and inviting. As the tea evolves, the delicate rose notes emerge, subtly woven into the overall aroma, providing a soft and ethereal balance to the rich, roasted undertones.

The tea's liquor is thick and substantial, exhibiting a well-rounded, mellow body. The flavor profile is characterized by a harmonious blend of floral sweetness and mild minty notes, balanced by a moderate sweetness that lingers with a pleasant, lasting finish. The complex interplay of floral and roasted elements creates a uniquely sophisticated experience. The rose fragrance, enhanced by the extended roasting, retains a hidden delicacy that feels noble and refined, offering a sense of elegance that lingers on the palate.

Originating from our private tea fields and EU-compliant, this exceptional Wuyi oolong has the potential to pair beautifully with roasted pigeon. Furthermore, its ability to mature gracefully over time—up to five years—suggests that it will continue to develop in complexity, making it a rewarding tea for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.
