Huang Mei Gui (Yellow Rose) Lapsang Souchong Black Tea
A small, experimental batch of Lapsang Souchong made from the Huang Mei Gui (Yellow Rose) cultivar. The result is a complex black tea that tastes unlike any black tea you had before.
Yellow Rose (Huang Mei Gui) Black Tea
Compared to traditional Lapsang Souchong, which is straight forward in flavour, this version made from the Yellow Rose cultivar offers a thicker texture, more subtle flavours, better complexity, and longer endurance. It’s characterised by an aroma profile of minerals, spices, flowers, and hints of berries.

Description
Oolong tea or black tea?
As the Yellow Rose cultivar is mainly used for oolong tea from Wuyishan (also known as ‘Wuyi rock tea’), the experienced tea drinker will recognise the mineral base that characterises such oolong teas. However, this tea is still classified as a black tea, because it’s processed like one.
Thus, this is quite an entertaining tea for the curious minds out there, which positions itself between the traditional black and oolong tea categories.
