Description

An oolong with exceptional flavors

Harvested in the Wuyi Mountains, this rock tea comes from Rou Gui tea bushes, whose name means "cinnamon" in tribute to its spicy notes. It is a medium-oxidation oolong, enhanced by a pronounced roasting that builds its strength and minerality. Intense aromas of red and black fruits intertwine with roasted notes featuring almost caramelized, mineral, and spicy accents. Pure artistry!

Grands Crus: savour the exceptional

Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower. Meticulously plucked, processed and sourced in the most respected tea gardens, our Grands Crus unveil unique flavours that reflect the refinement of their origins.
