Rou Gui is quickly becoming one of the most popular Wuyi Oolongs across China for its intense concentrated aroma, and the textural cooling tingling sensation called yun that it shows off at the highest levels. Li Xiangxi and her family’s Rou Gui has been winning gold and silver medals at competition for years due to their incredible skill at coaxing the best aroma from each leaf through slow subtle roasting. This year, they set aside enough of their award-winning harvest for us to share.

Short review:
Got this as a sample. It’s very good wuyi oolong. Strong cinnamon and bark notes, along with a bit of pumpkin seed as mentioned on the website. The traditional mineral notes are tasted with a bit of dryness and astringency as well. However, it is not overpowering.
If you’re looking for a wuyi oolong that has strong flavour, decent minerality, and soft astringency, this one hits all those notes. I almost want to give it a full 90 or 95, as I don’t think any other “straight” wuyi oolongs can top it (say, compared to big red robe which has a fruity flavour added to it).
Flavors: Astringent, Bark, Cinnamon, Drying, Mineral, Pumpkin, Wet Rocks
