Along with Da Hong Pao, Bai Ji Guan (White Rooster's Comb) is among the four most famous yan cha from the Wu Yi Shan region. This uncommon tea makes a striking visual impression with its pale yellow-green leaves fringed in chestnut. The liquor is yellow-gold. The infusion has a strongly fruity aroma; there's an almost chocolate and candy-like sweetness in the fragrance. On the palate, more floral notes come into play. Despite the pale color, this tea has a pleasingly substantial texture that contributes to its sweet, long-lasting finish. Due to limited production it's hard to find authentic Bai Ji Guan and even harder to procure a great one, so we are excited to offer you a rare opportunity to experience the qualities that have made this tea renowned for centuries among Chinese tea lovers.
