Description

This tea is from the mountains surrounding Wuyishan in Northwestern Fujian Province, China. Rou Gui is a famous tea plant that produces tea with hints of cinnamon spice. Semi-oxidized oolong accounts for 99% of Rou Gui's production. This tea is the exception: a black tea with cinnamon hints. This is not Hot Cinnamon Spice, but rather something more subtle and sophisticated.

Ingredients

Black tea.
