Rou Gui (Cinnebar) Wu Yi Cliff Tea

What a wonderful oolong! I am backlogging as I had this one as my last tea of 2010 on New Year’s Eve and was a perfect selection. I noted honey and spicy, yes spicy flavors. This was juicy w/a discernable tickle on the tongue. This is one oolong that I would recommend and am looking forward to trying the rest of my Cloudwalker teas. No roasted flavors , no vegetative, no florals.

I can certainly ‘find’ the natural spicy hints of this oolong…it different and good. A nice change up. It’s a little honey-like too and there is a slightly sweet aftertaste as well!

Wow! This is really good! The spice notes are profound. A deep sweetness with a contrast of a somewhat sour note, and the spice mingling with those flavors is really quite fantastic!

I like this one a lot!

I just drank this tea for the first time in a long time… As a shop owner, I suffer from having too many choices sometimes and as a consequence some very good teas go untried for too long. Even though I didn’t drink this tea in my traditional gong fu method, by only filling my mug half full I was still able to appreciate the incredible aromas: apricot and honey mostly. The flavour is light, roasted oolong with a hint of anise and the energy is quite deep when I permit myself to close my eyes. An excellent tea to be sure.
