This Taiwanese oolong was produced by a master from Zhu Shan about 16 years ago. The Lao Cha Wang aging technique involves periodic roasting every six months or a few years. This process endows the tea with new properties and a different biochemical composition. Only the strongest and best teas are aged, resulting in a richer, deeper, and more noble profile, acquiring unique characteristics that cannot be replicated by other methods.
The master decides on the roasting frequency based on the initial leaf quality, storage conditions, and climate.
This tea is visually stunning and reveals a glossy sheen from tightly rolled leaves, indicating the preservation of beneficial compounds. The base material consists of carefully selected young buds with 2-3 small leaves, representing a single harvest from one year.
Aroma: Deep, caramel, woody, with hints of tobacco.
Flavor: Soft, rich, with spicy-caramel, tobacco, nutty, and dried fruit notes, complemented by chocolate and smoky-coffee nuances in a voluminous aftertaste.
Effect: Harmonizing, relaxing, meditative.
Harvest: 2008, Taiwan.
Brewing Instructions: Brew using infusion method. Preheat your teaware—whether a porcelain gaiwan or porous Yixing teapot. Use about 5 grams of tea leaves for 100 ml of water. Boil water to fully unlock the potential of the Taiwanese oolong. It can withstand multiple infusions. Don’t miss the chance to savor the remarkable, subtle, and shifting aroma of this tea whenever possible.
Let customers speak for us
im very satisfied with the cup, 😊 thanks
I bought Rou Gui Gao Shan at Tea Gallery, and it pleasantly surprised me with how it evolves over multiple infusions. By the third brew, the aroma becomes fuller and deeper, revealing a rich body with gentle sweetness, subtle berry notes, and light woody undertones. The classic Rou Gui profile—often associated with cinnamon-like spice, warm minerality, and a distinctive “rock” character (yan yun)—is present here as well, but in a smooth and well-balanced way. The aftertaste is long, with a refined balance between warmth and freshness. It’s the kind of tea that truly shines over extended sessions—perfect for long, relaxed evenings in good company.
This tea is honestly GOATed. We call it "endless / infinite tea", just because of HOW MUCH you can extract from it... With the right conditions and not too hot of a water, we've been genuinely drinking it for hours, and I feel like we never fully finished it... definitely worth it's money
Прекрасный чай. Всем советую заглянуть в этот магазинчик.
Bought it as a gift to my dear friend, and he’s now the happiest man on earth. He rates it as “10 out of 5” and “every day I use it, and every day I’m happy”
Genuinely one of the best red teas I’ve ever tried. The texture, the aroma and the flavour is just outstanding. It is visually pleasing, lasts for many infusions, and a bit expensive
Очень приятный вкус, тонкий аромат, мягкое расслабление без сонливости
