Premium Wuyi Rock Tea Bai Ji Guan (Ban Yan)

Bai Ji Guan is one of the rarest and most refined Wuyi rock teas, with a deep connection to Taoist culture. Legend has it that Bai Yuchan, a famous Taoist master of the Song Dynasty, discovered and cultivated this unique tea. Unlike most rock teas, its leaves are pale green with serrated edges resembling a rooster’s comb—hence the name "Bai Ji Guan" (White Rooster Crest).
This tea is lightly roasted, allowing its delicate floral and herbal notes to shine. Expect a fragrance reminiscent of orchids, sweet corn silk, and a hint of bamboo leaves in the cooled cup. When brewed, it produces a crystal-clear, pale yellow liquor with a fresh, sweet, and layered aroma that evolves with each infusion. Its taste is smooth and refreshing, similar to Shuixian but with a more refined, unfolding floral character. In the world of rock teas, Bai Ji Guan stands as the refined scholar—graceful, complex, and deeply intriguing.
