Bai Ji Guan (aka White Cockscomb) is a classic Wu Yi varietal originating from the "Bat Cave" deep in the Wu Yi mountains. First recorded in the Ming Dynasty it was given this name because the tops of bushes have a bright yellow-green appearance that in strong sunlight is almost white in color.

Bai Ji Guan is lightly processed through shade withering and when brewed gives up a sweet mushroom and longan fruitiness that is very delightful. Cha Qi is noticeable but subtle and never overpowering.

This tea has been grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Late April Harvest

Origin: Wu Yi Shan, Xingcun Town, Caodun Village

Your new process for handling

Your new process for handling import duties to Spain (probably all of the EU) was really helpful. Prepaid customs duties greatly reduces the cost to the recipient; we are able to do the same once notified of arrival, but the option to take care of it up front is a big plus.

Since I buy bulk for myself as an individual, the offer of a 60-d...Read More

Very Nice Green Wuyi!

This is a unique varietal, with a unique green processing style. The result is something sweet and fresh tasting, but with nice honey aroma and a good full taste. I brewed gong fu style and got 8 steeps! A lovely tea!

Delicious!

The hot, dry leaf smells like sweetgrass, red fruits, and something warm and toasty. Those bready aromas come out more in the wet leaf.
The taste is really interesting and complex! It's quite mineral underneath, with a kind of hot rocks taste, like the smell of the steam when they pour water over heated rocks at a sauna. It's also pretty astr...Read More

ingent, but not really bitter. Very thick, a little tingly on the tongue. The mouthfeel makes me think of biting into a grape seed.
There's also a very pronounced sweet cereal kind of note on top of that. Like sugary cornflakes or Captain Crunch or something, with dry grass. There's also a little bit of orchid florals.
The aftertaste really reminds me of sweetgrass!
The smell on the empty cup is so incredibly sweet... Like some kind of candied red fruits. I don't really taste fruity things when I drink it, but the scent is there.
I often drink a white cockscomb from a local Chinese teahouse, which is lot more oxidised/roasted and completely different from this one. I wouldn't even guess that they were the same tea, although I love that one, too!
These leaves are very yellow-green, super light for a rock oolong.
Lovely, unique tea! Read Less

light oolong

This tea does not have any bad flavors. But for my taste is too too weak. Thin body, soft mineral taste and almost no aftertaste.
