What are the “roots” of Rooteas?

Rooteas tea making skills

Family-made

Our teas all come from tea-making families. Some are made by our own family, and others are crafted by families we've known and trusted for years. Not from an unknown source, but from real people and family producers whose craft we trust and have seen in person.

Rooteas family tea farm

Single-origin

It means you can actually taste where the tea comes from. It stays true to its own place, so the local soil, rocks, and climate all come through in the cup. With Wuyi rock oolong, you get that clear rock rhythm (Yan Yun) and a deep, lingering fragrance that only those rocky slopes can give. When you drink it, you're not just having a cup of tea, you're getting a small snapshot of that landscape.

Everything about Rou Gui Rock Oolong

Rou Gui simply means “Cinnamon." The tea received its name because its brew releases a baked cinnamon scent. Rou Gui currently stands as one of the most commonly cultivated tea trees in Wuyi Mountain.

Rou Gui tea bushes have a history of over 100 years. They were first discovered on Mazhen Peak in Wuyi Mountain. Since Rou Gui is a bush-type tree that grows new plants from cuttings, its life is shorter than other tea trees, usually 30-40 years. Because of this, tea farmers didn’t want to plant it at first.

Everything changed in 1985. That year, Fujian Province’s Crop Committee officially recognized Rou Gui as a special tea variety. This started its large-scale planting. Today, Rou Gui has become one of the most famous Wuyi Rock Oolongs.

A Qing Dynasty poet once created a poem that expressed admiration for this rock oolong:

“Nature keeps true flavors in rare teas,

Papaya’s richness meets cinnamon’s warm spice.

When will we sing of new wonders?

Rain-fresh buds and ice-pure shoots take their turn."
