CSTW-5
Legendary wulong from the Wuyi mountains of Fujian, it is the most famous of the "rock teas", as they are called. Delicately twisted whole leaves are lightly roasted for a rich full liquor.
Its woody aromatic character is expertly enhanced by rich notes of pecans, cocoa and fruits (gooseberry).
The experience is deep, leaving a long after-impression in the mouth, delicately tart and sweet - reminiscent of caramel.

Bai Rui Xiang
A worthy representative of the rock wulongs, this wulong with delicately rolled leaves was only slightly roasted, preserving its flavourful vegetal (courgette) and floral fineness. Its full and tangy (tangerine) liquor, deploys rich tropical (durian) and honeyed aromas.
