Rogue Way or “Rou Gui Xiang” has a tart fruit aroma that adds complexity to its moderately roasted character. Its texture begins moderately thick, then softens into a silky liquor in the mouth.
This tea’s unmistakable mineral-like finish is attributed to its rocky environment. The persistently zingy finish adds depth to this timeless Wuyi Oolong, while the body sensation is equally invigorating and warm.
