Oolong Tea from the Wuyi Mountains, China
This tea is one of the four finest cliff tea varieties produced in the Wuyishan Mountains of Fujian. The name Baijiguan originates from a legend: A priest from Huiyuan Temple heard a rooster crowing while tending to the tea garden. Investigating the sound, he saw the rooster trying to protect its chicks from an attacking hawk. Eventually, the rooster was killed by the hawk, and moved by his sacrifice, the priest buried him in the tea garden. The following year, a tea tree with light purple leaves and white, serrated edges resembling a rooster's crest emerged. Hence, according to the legend, the name "Baijiguan" came to be.
TASTE NOTES
A harmonious and balanced tea with a sweet, slightly almondy flavor. Its buttery notes remind of the buttery sweetness of mooncake, complemented by a nutty-pistachio hint reminiscent of marzipan. There is a mellow caramelized aroma in the background, with a toasty aftertaste that lingers on the palate. The tea is forgiving for the forgetful, remaining smooth and not turning bitter even if over-brewed.
Place of origin: Hu Xiao Yan, Wuyishan city, Fujian Province

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/100ml ratio, pour boiling water on them, and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
