For finest taste, tea should be stored in a place that is cool and dry.
Rock tea is best enjoyed within a 3-year period.
Black tea is best enjoyed within a 2-year period.
Green tea and Oolong tea are best enjoyed within a 2-year period.
White tea is an exception. Its internal compounds evolve over time, enhancing its fragrance and creating a deeper, mellower taste. Therefore, it does not have a specific optimal drinking period.

What are the “roots” of Rooteas?
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.
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.
Transparency
We like to keep things honest and simple. When we share a tea, we share all the detailed information too, so you always know what you're drinking. We'd love to be the trusted tea partner you can turn to.
This sampler brings together four well-chosen Wuyi rock oolongs, each representing a different style. Together, they offer a broad introduction to the rock oolong we make and the different expressions we look for in the cup.
What’s included?
Classic Rou Gui (“Classic Cinnamon”) 8g*1
This Rou Gui is all about the classic character of the cultivar. The flavor is rich, intense, and immediately recognizable, with its signature cinnamon note coming through especially clearly here. It is for someone who wants to experience the classic character of the cultivar clearly, with all its spice and energy.

Zui Gui Fei (“Drunken Noble Consort”) 8g*1
This Zui Gui Fei is processed with a slow charcoal roast to preserve its distinctive cultivar aroma. Fast, high heat is avoided so its more delicate aromatics are not driven off. Instead, the tea is finished over a steady medium charcoal fire, allowing its signature floral character to remain clear and intact. For those who prefer yancha with elegant florals, this Zui Gui Fei offers a more graceful, floral-led expression.

Guo Xiang Rou Gui (“Fruity Cinnamon”) 8g*1
This Rou Gui balances ripe fruit notes with the cultivar’s familiar cinnamon character. The cinnamon is present, but not so strong that it overwhelms the fruit, allowing the two to stay clear and in harmony. Careful oxidation and repeated charcoal roasting help shape that balance into a deeper, more rounded expression.

Huang Mei Gui (“Yellow Rose”) 8g*1
We gave this Huang Mei Gui a medium charcoal roast to bring more balance and fullness to the cup. Instead of letting the aroma float above the tea, this roast helps it settle into the liquor, giving the tea a more grounded, cohesive feel. The first infusions are led by a soft rose note with a faint caramel sweetness. As the session goes on, florals and ripe fruit notes gradually come together in an amber liquor that feels full and rounded.
Tea: 8g
Gaiwan: 110–150ml
Water Temperature: 100°C / 212°F
Use flash steeping (pour out the tea in about 3s). Do not oversteep. As the flavor begins to fade, extend each infusion by 5–10s as needed.
Note: Be sure to pour out the tea soup completely after each infusion. Do not let it sit in the gaiwan.
(Adjust the tea amount and steeping time to suit your own taste.)
