Wuyi Mountain of Fujian province is known for its abundance of species and rich tea history. Almost all of the rocky cliffs there grow tea. Rou Gui (Cinnamon) is the bush varietal of the Wuyi rock oolong tea. The quality of Wuyi rock oolong tea varies widely.  Outside of the core producing area, as far as Jian Yang area that is more than 100 miles away does not have the signature character of Wuyi rock oolong, so sold at much cheaper price. 

Tiger Rock is one of the famous 32 rocks that grow the real Wuyi rock oolongs. High quality Rou Gui has a very distinctive cinnamon fragrance. This tea also has hints of cocoa beans, roasted dark cherry and cantaloupe, creamy texture, with a sweet aftertaste that lingers in your mouth and nose. A great daily real rock tea for oolong tea lovers.
