Oolong Huang Jin Gui (Golden Cinnamon Flower)

Huang Jin Gui Oolong, which translates to “Golden Cinnamon Flower,” is a light, aromatic oolong from Anxi County, Fujian Province. The tea gets its name from the golden color of the infusion and its characteristic aroma, reminiscent of osmanthus flower or cinnamon branch after rain. It is one of the most delicate Chinese oolongs, valued for its lightness, elegance, and subtle aroma.

This oolong has a fresh, enveloping taste with floral, fruity and light spicy notes. When brewed, it gives a clean, light amber infusion with an aroma of flowers, green apples, almonds and cinnamon. Many connoisseurs seek out Huang Jin Gui oolong to buy precisely because of this unique aromatic palette.

Origin and production

The tea is harvested in spring and the leaves undergo a gentle fermentation (about 15-20%), which preserves their freshness and natural floral character.
