The cassia is present and grounded. The fruit is warm and dimensional. The clarity is structural. And the finish is long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Rougui No. 06\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrounded Cassia Warmth (Guì Pí Xiāng)\u003c\/strong\u003e — At medium roast, the cassia character of Rougui shifts from bright and lifted to warm and settled — a dry cinnamon-bark spice that is deeper in the cup, more fully woven into the body of the tea rather than floating above it. It is still immediately recognizable as Rougui. It has simply been given more weight, more gravity, and more staying power. The fragrance lingers longer in the warmed vessel and in the cup long after the sip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm, Dimensional Fruit (Guǒ Xiāng)\u003c\/strong\u003e — The medium roast transforms the fresh fruit of a lighter Rougui into something drier and more complex: dried peach, longan, a touch of candied citrus peel — warm and rounded rather than vivid and immediate. This fruit character integrates with the cassia spice in a way that a lighter roast does not achieve, creating a layered mid-palate that evolves across infusions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean, Sustained Clarity (Xiān Chún Gāo Sǎng)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Despite the depth of the medium roast, No. 06 retains a structural clarity in its finish — the yan yun mineral quality of the Wuyi rock garden expressing itself as lift and persistence rather than weight. Each sip finishes cleanly, with a long, returning sweetness that builds gradually and stays. The boldness of Rougui without any sense of heaviness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium Roast — Integration as Craft\u003c\/strong\u003e — The medium roast is where the craftsman's judgment matters most. In No. 06, the roast has done exactly what a medium roast should: it has deepened the cassia without concentrating it past clarity, warmed the fruit without drying it past recognition, and integrated the mineral body of the Wuyi terroir into the full structure of the cup. The roast is present. The tea defines it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWuyi Mountain Rock-Garden Origin, Full Traditional Process\u003c\/strong\u003e — Grown in the core Wuyi Mountain rock-garden region and processed through the complete traditional Wuyi oolong method: withering, solar and indoor tossing, partial oxidation, rolling, and medium charcoal roasting. Each step calibrated to the specific character of the Rougui cultivar and the expression intended for No. 06.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wuyi Mountains, Fujian Province, China\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rougui (Cassia) — Wuyi Rock Oolong\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150g (5.29 oz)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional withering, solar and indoor tossing, partial oxidation, rolling, medium charcoal roasting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% single-origin Wuyi Rougui rock oolong leaves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Brew\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot Brew (Gongfu Style — Essential)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLeaves: 7–8g | Water: 120–150ml | Temperature: 212°F (100°C) — full boil\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst infusion: 20–25 seconds. Add 10–15 seconds each round. Yields 8–12 infusions. Medium roast Rougui requires full boiling water to fully open the roasted leaf and release the integrated cassia and fruit character. Early steeps lead with cassia warmth; middle rounds develop the yan yun and fruit depth; later rounds settle into a clean, sustained sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot Brew (Western Style)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLeaves: 4–5g | Water: 12 oz (350ml) | Temperature: 212°F (100°C)\u003cbr\u003e\nSteep 2–3 minutes for the first infusion. Re-steep 2–3 times, adding 30 seconds each round. The body and integrated character of No. 06 hold up well to Western brewing — full, satisfying, and clearly expressive of the Rougui character without requiring Gongfu equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold Brew\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLeaves: 8–10g | Water: 600ml cold water\u003cbr\u003e\nRefrigerate 14–18 hours. Cold extraction softens the roasted warmth and foregrounds a naturally sweet, gently spiced expression of the cassia character — clean, approachable, and remarkably long in finish. Serve at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Where does No. 06 sit in the ovanyu Rougui range relative to No. 07 and No. 09?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The three Rougui expressions span a roast spectrum. No. 07 is a light-to-medium roast: the cassia is bright and lifted, the fruit is fresh, and the overall character is vivid and transparent — the most approachable entry point. No. 09 is a medium-high roast: the cassia is concentrated and bold, the fruit is deep and dried, and the body is at its fullest — the most intense expression. No. 06 is the medium roast between them: the integration point where cassia warmth, dimensional fruit, and mineral clarity are most evenly balanced. For those who want depth without maximum intensity, No. 06 is the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is Rougui different from Da Hong Pao?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Both are Wuyi rock oolongs sharing the same mineral terroir, but they are different cultivars with distinct characters. Da Hong Pao is known for its layered floral complexity and composed mineral depth — balanced and multi-dimensional. Rougui is defined by its cassia-spice character — bold, warm, and immediately distinctive. Da Hong Pao is the more classical expression of Wuyi oolong; Rougui is the more assertive one. No. 06 is Rougui at the roast level where these qualities are most cohesively expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is yan yun and how does it appear in No. 06?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yan yun — \"rock rhyme\" — is the cool, mineral resonance unique to teas grown in the volcanic rock soils of the Wuyi Mountains. In No. 06, it expresses as structural depth and finish persistence — the quality that gives the integrated cassia and fruit character a sense of gravity and staying power. It is felt most clearly in the long, clean finish after the swallow: a coolness beneath the warmth that keeps the cup from becoming heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many infusions can I expect?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Using Gongfu brewing, expect 8–12 infusions. The character of No. 06 evolves significantly across the session — cassia-forward early, fruit and mineral in the middle rounds, clean and sweet toward the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this suitable as a gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No. 06 is the most universally balanced expression of Rougui in the ovanyu range — complex enough for experienced tea drinkers, approachable enough for those new to rock oolong. It represents both the cultivar and the Wuyi terroir at their most integrated. ovanyu's packaging is designed with a refined aesthetic appropriate for meaningful personal and professional gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43983917023295,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/dry_b79e9649-98da-427d-9af1-c7e0e6d88982.jpg?v=1790408678","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/wuyi-rock-oolong-tea-rougui-no-06-medium-roast-ovanyu","provider":"我的商店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
