Product Description:
Experience the bold elegance of Ma Tou Yan Rou Gui (Horse Head Rock Cinnamon Oolong Tea), a distinguished rock tea from the legendary Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China. Renowned for its striking "rock essence" (Yan Yun) and aromatic complexity, this tea is crafted from ancient tea trees grown in the mineral-rich soils of the Ma Tou Yan (Horse Head Rock) region, a core "Zheng Yan" (True Rock) tea-producing area.

Appearance & Aroma
Dry Leaves: Tightly rolled, dark green-brown strands with a glossy sheen and occasional golden tips.
Aroma: Intense, multi-layered fragrance featuring bold cinnamon spice (Gui Pi Xiang), floral hints, and roasted undertones from traditional charcoal baking.
Flavor Profile
Taste: A dynamic blend of spicy cinnamon, ripe fruit (like apricot or peach), and subtle caramel sweetness. The initial boldness mellows into a lingering, mineral-rich aftertaste (Yan Yun).
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and velvety, with a crisp, refreshing finish and pronounced throat-cooling sensation[Hou Yun].

Dosage: 8g of tea per 150ml of water.
Steps:
Rinse: Quickly rinse leaves with hot water (5-10 seconds) to awaken aromas.

Subsequent Infusions: Gradually increase steeping time by 5-10 seconds. High-quality Ma Tou Yan Rou Gui can steep 8-10 times, revealing evolving layers of flavor.
