Huang Jin Gui is one of the famous Fujian Province oolong tea varieties, originating from Anxi County in the south of Fujian Province. Many farmers produce various types of tea from this cultivar, ranging from classical Tie Guanyin to red tea. Huang Jin Gui has smaller leaves compared to other oolongs and is known for its rich aroma. This tea is made using traditional 武夷山 Wuyishan technology, similar to the processing of the mid-roasted Shui Xian variety. It is named "Guo Xiang," which means "fruit aroma" in Chinese. This aroma arises from a combination of specific fermentation and final charcoal baking processes. Due to its specific terroir, this tea will be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates Wuyi rock tea.
Dry leaf: middle-sized, lengthwise twisted leaves of brown colors. The aroma is intensive and deep, with spicy and fruity notes. The liquor is transparent, dark amber color.
The bouquet of brewed tea is bright and complex, with biscuit, floral and fruit nuances. The aroma is deep and warm, spicy-floral. The taste is rich and smooth, oily, sweetish, with delicate fire bitterness, berry sourness and spicy nuances, transforming into lingering finish.
Brew tea with hot boiling water (95°C) in a porcelain gaiwan or a teapot of porous clay. The proportion is 5 g per 100 ml. The first infusion should last for 8-10 seconds. After that do short brews (just for 2-3 seconds), increasing exposure time for each subsequent step, if necessary. You can repeat this method up to 7 times.
