Aromatic Complexity & Elegant Layers

Kengjian Rougui is renowned for its multi-layered aroma, offering a deep yet refined cinnamon-like fragrance that is both lingering and understated. This tea exudes a creamy, soft milky scent, elegantly intertwined with delicate floral notes of orchid and osmanthus, adding an exquisite and rich character. Hints of peach and plum further enhance its fresh and lively fragrance, which lingers in the brewed tea and on the cup’s walls, creating a delightful and uplifting experience.

Smooth & Full-Bodied Flavor

The tea liquor is thick, smooth, and velvety, with a pronounced rock rhyme (yan yun)—a signature minerality unique to Wuyi rock teas. It delivers a robust yet balanced spicy warmth, never overpowering, but rather deep and persistent. The tea finishes with an exceptionally long-lasting sweetness, leaving a refreshing, lingering aftertaste that spreads from the tip of the tongue to the throat, making each sip a rewarding experience.

Brewing Method

Pouring Technique: Use a high pour and low dribble for the first few infusions to awaken the tea’s aroma.
Steeping Time: Quick infusions are key; ensure each brew is fully drained before the next pour.
Later Infusions: After the seventh infusion, allow the tea to sit slightly longer to extract its deeper notes.

Visual & Textural Profile

Dry Leaves: Tightly twisted, robust strips with a slightly curled shape; dark, glossy, and sand-green in hue.
Tea Liquor: A bright orange-red, crystal-clear, and full-bodied infusion.
Aroma: Intense and spicy, resembling cinnamon bark, with a lingering depth.
Wet Leaves: Supple and vibrant brown-green, retaining freshness and elasticity; even after six to seven infusions, the distinctive Rougui cinnamon aroma and rock rhyme remain.
