Cinnamon Fragrance Rock Tea is produced in Wuyi Mountain Tea District, Fujian Province. Tea trees grow in the hills and valleys, because of fog, diffuse light, tea leaves are fresh and tender, contain more chlorophyll, and the quality is superior. The fragrance is rich and persistent, with butter, flowers and fruits, and natural cinnamon-like aroma. The taste is mellow and delicious and refreshing.
Brewing Method
1. Dry tea 6-8 grams.
2. Water temperature is between 95 and 100 degrees Celsius.
3. Rinse tea once.
4. Pour in 95-100 degrees Celsius water and soak for 5-10 seconds before pouring out the tea soup. After the third time, the time can be slightly increased. High quality Wuyi rock tea can be brewed 8 times.
Following the cinnamon fragrance
Rougui, often translated as cassia or cinnamon, is a name associated with Wuyi rock oolong. The spice comparison describes the tea’s aromatic character; it does not mean cinnamon bark has been added to the leaves. Roast level and the particular tea both influence the balance between fragrance, body and the lingering finish.
The short infusions above are well suited to noticing those changes. Smell the warm, empty cup after drinking as well as the liquor itself. Then compare the next infusion: does the spice impression remain prominent, or do floral and fruit notes become easier to notice? There is no need to find every aroma named in a description. Your own clear observations are more useful than borrowed tasting words.
Use a receiving jug if you are sharing the tea, so that everyone tastes the same infusion at a similar strength. Pour the whole brew into the jug before dividing it between cups. Leaving a portion in the pot while serving allows that portion to continue steeping.
For a second session, change only one brewing variable. A slightly shorter steep can show whether a forceful cup came from the tea itself or from extraction. Keep the leaf weight and water volume in your notes, and use the aftertaste as well as the initial aroma to decide which approach you enjoy.
