| Legend has it that the name of this marvellous tea (White Cockscomb) was given by a monk in memorial of a courageous rooster that sacrificed his life while protecting his baby from an eagle. Touched by the display of courage and love, the monk buried the rooster and from that spot, the Bai Ji Guan tea bush grew. Bai Ji Guan's wonderful complex taste makes it one of the best Oolong in the world. Other names: White Cockscomb Taste: Bai Ji Guan taste is wonderfully complex. It starts off sweet, uniquely fruity with a toasty floral honeyed aroma and finishes with a lingering mellow fruit and honey note. Appearance: The shape of the tea leaves are of ordinary Wuyi Oolong but the color is somewhat yellowish green. Origin: Wu Yi Shan, Fujian Province Harvest Period: Spring '07 (2006 harvest is also available) |
