Highlight
四大名丛 sì dà míng cóng 'Four Great Tea Cultivars' is a collective term referring to four famous Wuyi oolong tea bush varieties: Da Hong Pao, Tie Luo Han and Shui Jin Gui. Unlike the other Rock tea, Bai Ji Guan is partially oxidized and then gently roasted over low heat. The gentle roasting preserves the tea’s natural character.
