Dan Gui (No.304) was created by the Tea Institute of Fujian Agricultural Sciences Academy over 19 years starting from 1979, by selecting among the natural hybrids of Rou Gui. As a direct descendant of Rou Gui, it carries on the typical cinnamon notes of its parent plant and is one of the few varietals with these characteristics among the numerous Yanchas. Additionally, it often brings woody notes when properly handcrafted.
This 2023 Dan Gui is a cup of perfume. Besides those typical features of the varietal and the elegant floral fragrance common to many Yanchas, it also brings out clear milk notes both on the lid of the Gaiwan and in the mild liquor.
