"Waterfall" Rou Gui, Spring 2020, Tea Master Zhou, Horse Head Cliff Wuyi Mountain
Aroma/Color/Taste: At the top of Horse Head Cliff, amongst a waterfall's cascade and the sweet fragrant delicate flowers that dot the rocks, we find this special Rou Gui. There is a perfect balance of sun (yang) and moon (yin) at this spot. And all this is in the tea, making it extremely nourishing, revitalizing as it moves your Qi, and delicious to taste.
Very rare, only about 3 lbs. are produced each year.
This tea is silky soft with a full rich body, and very, very smooth. It has a pronounced Cassius flavor characteristic of a true rou gui. If you enjoy Rou Gui's you must experience this one.
Location: Horse Head Cliff (Horse Head Rock) is in the inner circle upper area of Wuyi Mountain, Wuyishan. Wuyishan is in the northwest of Fujian Province in southeast China.
Made by: It was made by Tea Master Zhou from trees over 35 years old.

Master Zhou with his Special "Waterfall" Rou Gui.
Brews & Steeping: Bring the water to a rolling boil. Wait for the bubbling water to settle. Pour off the first infusion to open the leaves. For first drink, infuse for 3 seconds, pour and enjoy. This tea can make 10-15 infusions. Increase steep time only slightly longer as you reach the final infusions. You'll know by the color and taste of the tea, when it has been exhausted. We recommend using a small thick clay teapot or gaiwan and spring or filtered water. Fill about 1/3 of your teapot or gaiwan with the leaves.
