Specific fermentation and final charcoal baking develop the fruit aroma that gives this tea its Guo Xiang name.
The processing follows a Wuyishan approach similar to a medium-roasted Shui Xian, making it a useful direction for a rock-tea drinker to explore.
Leaf and craft
The Huang Jin Gui cultivar
Huang Jin Gui originates from Anxi in southern Fujian and has smaller leaves than many oolong varieties.
Here, that aromatic cultivar is used for a charcoal-finished oolong rather than a lighter style.
