Description
The word "Rou Gui" means "Cinnamon" or "Cassia Bark" in Chinese. One of the most widely cultivated alongside Da Hong Pao. The smoky and strong tea is a Wuyi Oolong famous Yan Cha for its sharp aromas. When steeping to release a mineral, woody flavour from its strong stretched leaves and rich dark red colour, it has also the distinctive feature of 'Rock Rhyme' (Yan Yun) 岩韵. 

Yan Yun comes from the environment where the tea bushes are grown at cliff in the mountains on mineral rich rocky soil. Fresh tea leaves that are picked from the high slopes are the best for getting the Yan Yun. A cup of quality Rock Oolong tea is when the mineral, roasted component is in perfect balance with a long-lasting sweet finish.
