They are the six original Da Hong Pao Mother Trees. The age of the Da Hong Pao Mother Trees exceeds 360 years according to popular belief. And they are the source of one of the world's most famous teas: Da Hong Pao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea from these specific bushes was incredibly rare over centuries. They grew naturally in this hard-to-reach spot. It was almost impossible to grow more of them successfully elsewhere. This made their tea extremely precious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut in the 1980s, Wuyi Mountain specialists discovered a method to propagate new Da Hong Pao tea plants. They did this by taking small cuttings (clones) from the original Mother Trees. This cloning method was a huge success. It meant farmers could finally plant and grow Da Hong Pao bushes in other suitable areas nearby. This allowed much more Da Hong Pao tea to be produced. However, tea made from the original Mother Trees themselves remained the rarest and most valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep these ancient treasures safe, an important decision was made. Since 2006, no tea has been picked from the original six Mother Trees. They are now protected as national treasures. Just one year before this protection started, in 2005, a tiny amount of tea showed just how valuable it was. A batch weighing only 20 grams (less than one ounce!) sold for an amazing 198,000 Chinese Yuan. That’s roughly $27,600 in today's money. This price makes it one of the most expensive teas ever sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere Does the Name “Big Red Robe\" Come From?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA famous story explains the tea's special name. Long time ago, a scholar started his journey toward the capital city. He was going there to take the very difficult Imperial Exams. Passing through the beautiful but rugged Wuyi Mountains, he suddenly became very sick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA nearby Buddhist temple monk cured him with the local tea plants. Once the scholar recovered from his illness, he continued his journey to the capital and he achieved the highest score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emperor rewarded the scholar with a special red robe after he attained the highest score. The scholar expressed his heartfelt thanks by removing his precious red robe and placing it upon the tea plants which had restored his health.

It inherits the strong aromatic character of one parent and the early-sprouting nature of the other, allowing it to be harvested as early as mid-April. What makes this cultivar especially distinctive is its lingering rose-like aroma, layered with natural floral fragrance, caramel sweetness, and ripe fruit notes. The aromatics are vivid, penetrating, and long-lasting. It is also notably resilient, with strong tolerance to drought and cold, allowing it to grow steadily even in demanding environments such as high-altitude tea-growing regions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rooteas","offers":[{"title":"40g","offer_id":47042350186719,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"80g","offer_id":47042350219487,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/6553\/9295\/files\/huang-mei-gui-rock-oolong.webp?v=1774629676"},{"product_id":"rou-gui-rock-oolong-tea","title":"Classic Rou Gui","description":"\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eName: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eClassic\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eRou Gui (“Classic Cinnamon”)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eChinese name \u0026amp; Pinyin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e经典肉桂 \u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ejīng diǎn ròu guì\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eType:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Wuyi Rock Oolong\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Wuyishan, Fujian\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHarvest Time:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Spring, 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Medium fire (\"zh\u003c\/span\u003eō\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eng hu\u003c\/span\u003eǒ\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\", \"\u003c\/span\u003e中火\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\")\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e           \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Roast Levels\" href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/our-roast-levels\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eClick to learn more about our roast levels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eProducer: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Xiao Family (Wuyi Rock Oolong)\" href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/about-us\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eXiao Family\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eTasting note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Baked cinnamon, Spiced notes, Dark chocolate, Bold \u0026amp; Strong, A pleasant returning sweetness\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhat Classic Rou Gui Tastes Like\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThis Rou Gui is all about the classic character of the cultivar.

It takes its name from the sharp, spice-like aroma in the tea, reminiscent of cinnamon. The large-scale promotion of Rou Gui as a tea cultivar in the modern sense began in the 1980s. In 1985, it was officially recognized as a Fujian provincial elite cultivar, and with support from government subsidies, research institutions, and growing market demand, it quickly spread in cultivation. Today, it has become one of the most widely planted and representative cultivars of Wuyi yancha.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rooteas","offers":[{"title":"40g","offer_id":47042621341919,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"80g","offer_id":47042621374687,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/6553\/9295\/files\/classic-rou-gui-rock-oolong.webp?v=1774629329"},{"product_id":"shi-ru-stone-milk-rock-oolong-tea","title":"Shi Ru","description":"\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eName: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eShi Ru (“Stone Milk”)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eChinese Name \u0026amp; Pinyin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e石乳 \u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eshí rǔ\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eType:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Wuyi Rock Oolong\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Wuyishan, Fujian\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHarvest Time:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Spring, 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Medium fire (\"zh\u003c\/span\u003eō\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eng hu\u003c\/span\u003eǒ\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\", \"\u003c\/span\u003e中火\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\")\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e           \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/our-roast-levels\" title=\"Roast Levels\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick to learn more about our roast levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eProducer: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/about-us\" title=\"Xiao Family (Wuyi Rock Oolong)\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eXiao Family\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eTasting note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Milk, Frankincense, Caramel, Fruity undertones\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe History Behind the Name Shi Ru\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe name Shi Ru has a long and layered history.

In 1985, it was officially recognized as a Fujian provincial elite cultivar, and with support from government subsidies, research institutions, and growing market demand, it quickly spread in cultivation. Today, it has become one of the most widely planted and representative cultivars of Wuyi yancha.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rooteas","offers":[{"title":"40g","offer_id":48686246199519,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"80g","offer_id":48686246232287,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/6553\/9295\/files\/guo-xiang-rou-gui-rock-oolong.webp?v=1774630007"},{"product_id":"zui-gui-fei-rock-oolong","title":"Zui Gui Fei","description":"\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eName: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eZui Gui Fei (“Drunken Noble Consort”)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eChinese name \u0026amp; Pinyin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e醉贵妃 \u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ezu\u003c\/span\u003eì\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e gu\u003c\/span\u003eì\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e f\u003c\/span\u003eē\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ei\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eType:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Wuyi Rock Oolong\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Wuyishan, Fujian\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHarvest Time:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Spring, 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Medium fire (\"zh\u003c\/span\u003eō\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eng hu\u003c\/span\u003eǒ\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\", \"\u003c\/span\u003e中火\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\")\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e           \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Roast Levels\" href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/our-roast-levels\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eClick to learn more about our roast levels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eProducer: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Xiao Family (Wuyi Rock Oolong)\" href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/about-us\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eXiao Family\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Rooteas story of the tea-making family (Xiao Family)\" href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/about-us\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eTasting note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Elegant floral notes, Creamy caramel, a hint of fruit\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThis Zui Gui Fei is processed with a slow charcoal roast to preserve its distinctive cultivar aroma.

Different yancha cultivars are brought together in deliberate proportions to create a tea with greater complexity, more layered aromatics, and a result that goes beyond what any one cultivar could achieve on its own. A good blend places high demands on the quality of the base teas, the skill of the blending itself, and the precision of the roast. In practice, the different maocha are usually roasted to either a semi-finished or finished stage first, then sorted and refined through hand-picking. From there, small trial blends are made and brewed repeatedly to test how the teas interact in the cup. Once the formula and proportions are finalized, the blend is produced on a larger scale. In some cases, the finished blend is roasted once more to settle the components together and bring greater stability and cohesion to the final tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rooteas","offers":[{"title":"40g","offer_id":48686270218463,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"80g","offer_id":48686270251231,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/6553\/9295\/files\/tao-xiang-da-hong-pao-rock-oolong.webp?v=1774631000"},{"product_id":"gao-cong-shui-xian-rock-oolong-tea","title":"Gao Cong Shui Xian","description":"\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eName: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eGao Cong Shui Xian (“Tall Bush Shui Xian”), tree age: 30-35 years\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eChinese Name \u0026amp; Pinyin: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e高枞水仙\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e g\u003c\/span\u003eā\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eo c\u003c\/span\u003eó\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eng shu\u003c\/span\u003eǐ\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e xi\u003c\/span\u003eā\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003en\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eType: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWuyi Rock Oolong\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWuyishan, Fujian\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHarvest Time: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSpring, 2025\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eRoast Level: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eMedium-light fire (\"zh\u003c\/span\u003eō\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eng q\u003c\/span\u003eī\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eng hu\u003c\/span\u003eǒ\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\", \"\u003c\/span\u003e中轻火\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\")\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e           \u003ca title=\"Roast Levels\" href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/our-roast-levels\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick to learn more about our roast levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eProducer: \u003ca title=\"Xiao Family (Wuyi Rock Oolong)\" href=\"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/pages\/about-us\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eXiao Family\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eTasting note: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAiry florals, Soft sweetness, Mellow and soft\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\" align=\"left\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eGao Cong Shui Xian refers to Shui Xian bushes around 30 to 50 years old.
