Baijiguan Oolong Tea (White Rooster)
A Class of His Own
The word Baijiguan means White Rooster Crown. His tea buds are a light yellowish green with downy hairs, resembling a rooster crown.
Famous for his curative property, he became a tribute tea during the Ming dynasty. He later became the No 3 of the Famous Tea Bushes, ranking after Dahongpao and Tieluohan tea.
Not an easy tea to make, the White Rooster is truly rare. Despite the widespread fame, only a small quantity is produced each year.
