Jin Suo Chi, also known as Jin Suo Shi or Jin Yao Shi, originated in the Wuyi Mountains, where it has been cultivated hundreds of years. This particular Jin Suo Chi was naturally grown, without the use of pesticides, alongside the banks of the Nine Bends River in the Wuyi Mountains. It is a moderately stimulating wulong with a full, grounding flavor, and a subtle rose fragrance.
Dry, its leaves are black with hints of gold, twisted and frequently hooked, and have a rich, savory, vegetal, roasted, full, warming, sweet aroma. Wet, its leaves carry an aroma that is rich, sweet, woodsy, fruity, and dark, reminiscent of dried cherries, mahogany, and oak. Its brew has a fruity and savory aroma, with notes of orchid and rose, for which it is particularly known. It produces a dry, rich, honey-colored brew, with a grounding, woodsy flavor, which leaves a sweet, warm aftertaste in the mouth and throat.
This tea is warming and mentally-stimulating, making it good for focused productivity.
