It is often described as the artwork of the rock tea world due to its distinctive pale green leaves, which set it apart visually from other Wuyi Rock Teas. Today, Bai Ji Guan is becoming increasingly rare. Many farmers have replaced it with more commercially popular cultivars, and authentic bushes in the Zhengyan core area are especially hard to find. This tea was made from fresh leaves purchased from local farmers and processed in Fo Guo Yan, one of the iconic rocky sites of Zhengyan. Although roasted three times, the firing was kept at a low temperature to preserve freshness and clarity. Fermentation and roasting were carefully managed, ensuring the tea is clean and balanced, without any greenish harshness. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAroma and Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e The liquor is clear and golden, with a smooth, umami-rich sweetness.

They are not loud at first sip, but they reveal themselves slowly and honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWuyuan Jian sits deep between rock walls, where dense vegetation provides natural shade and sweet spring water gathers at the valley floor. Summer sunlight is brief, day and night temperatures vary widely, and in winter the cliffs shield the tea bushes from harsh winds. Over time, weathered rock breaks down into permeable soil rich in trace minerals, with balanced acidity and naturally high potassium and manganese. These conditions form the backbone of true Zhengyan terroir and give this tea its unmistakable rock charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea was harvested in early May and then patiently roasted three times over charcoal. Each roast was carefully spaced to allow the tea to settle and integrate. This slow, traditional approach is essential for pit and stream teas. Rushing would only flatten their depth. With time, the Rou Gui develops clarity, strength, and a living energy that continues to unfold with each infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma and Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a Rou Gui that overwhelms from the first pour.

In the 1990s, this low-footed oolong was introduced from Jianou to Wuyishan, a journey of around 150 kilometres, bringing with it a long and respected lineage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nJianou’s Dongfeng Town is the historical heartland of Beiyuan 北苑 imperial tea, with more than a thousand years of tea-making history. It is also recognised as the birthplace of low-footed oolong, a unique tea tree type with compact growth, dense downward-curving leaves and a naturally restrained structure. In Guilin Village, Dongfeng Town, ancient tea gardens dating back 120 to 150 years still survive, and this genetic line is famously linked to Taiwan’s Qingxin Oolong and Dong Ding Oolong traditions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAlthough our trees are younger, at around 35 years old, they clearly express this heritage. The plants grow low and compact, with thick, flat foliage and a strong central vein, producing leaf material that is naturally balanced and well suited to gentle, layered roasting. We selected a lower to medium three-stage roast to preserve clarity while building warmth and depth.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma and Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis is a calm, elegant oolong with a quiet confidence rather than overt intensity.
