Aromatic Profile | Intense & Lasting
Yanzike Rougui is known for its bold and dominant cinnamon fragrance, delivering an unmistakable spicy sharpness that lingers persistently from the dry leaves to the brewed infusion. This robust cinnamon note is complemented by a soft, powdery floral aroma, creating a striking sensory contrast. Hints of fruity honey sweetness further enrich the fragrance, making it both powerful and elegantly layered.
Rich, Thick, and Refreshing Sweetness
The liquor is dense, velvety, and full-bodied, offering a smooth and refined texture with a pleasant clarity. As the tea spreads across the palate, it delivers a delightful sweet and mellow taste, balanced by a refreshing coolness that enhances the drinking experience. The pronounced rock rhyme (yan yun) leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth, followed by a deep, satisfying returning sweetness (hui gan).
