What Makes This Rou Gui Different?

The key difference is its more specific product identity.

Rou Gui / 肉桂

The Wuyi oolong tea style.

Niu Lan Keng / 牛栏坑

The specific name presented on this product's packaging together with Rou Gui.

Te Ji / 特级

The confirmed grade supporting its premium positioning.

Together:

Niu Lan Keng · Rou Gui · Te Ji

This gives the 125 g product a more focused identity than a general Rou Gui discovery tea.

---

What Does It Taste Like?

Warm · Aromatic · Spice-Leaning

The dark twisted leaves produce a liquor developing through:

Golden Amber → Warm Amber → Amber-Orange

The overall direction is:

Warm · Aromatic · Structured · Spice-Leaning · Lingering

with a medium-to-full body.

Exact aroma, roast character, body and finish naturally vary according to batch, water and brewing method.

A specific roasting level is not currently established.

---

Rou Gui Does Not Mean Added Cinnamon

The Chinese name:

肉桂 · Rou Gui

literally translates to:

Cinnamon

But:

Rou Gui Tea ≠ Cinnamon-Flavored Tea

Rou Gui is the established name of this Wuyi oolong tea style.

No added cinnamon is indicated for this product.

Warm, spice-like or cinnamon-like aromatic impressions may occur as part of the tea's sensory character, but that is different from adding cinnamon spice or flavouring.
