Song Dynasty records say that around 995–997, Emperor Taizong ordered Fujian officials to produce Stone Milk as a tribute tea. It was ranked with the famous Dragon and Phoenix cakes as a top imperial tea, and in the Yuan Dynasty it grew in the Wu Yi Imperial Tea Garden.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe name comes from the aroma. Shi Ru is known for a creamy, milky fragrance woven together with flowers and fruit, and that scent clings to the gaiwan lid after the pour. Under the cream there’s real backbone.
