Cha Zhi Ji Wuyi Rock Tea – Jin Liu Tiao (金柳条)

Cha Zhi Ji Wuyi Rock Tea – Jin Liu Tiao (金柳条)

Jin Liu Tiao, or "Golden Willow Leaf", is one of Wuyi Mountain’s rare and traditional heritage cultivars. Native to the region, its long and narrow leaves resemble willow fronds, giving the tea its elegant name. At Cha Zhi Ji, we honor this ancient cultivar using traditional roasting techniques to bring out its complex beauty.

🌸 Fragrance & Aroma

Upon infusion, a burst of floral fragrance fills the air—followed by subtle notes of fruit, caramel, and finally, a creamy milkiness that is unique among rock teas. This elegant varietal aroma arrives slowly but leaves a lasting impression.

🍵 Taste Profile

The tea liquor is exceptionally smooth and silky. As you sip, it glides over the tongue like soft silk or flowing gauze. Rich and full-bodied, the broth reveals layers of floral, fruity, woody, and medicinal notes that linger beautifully with a lasting sweetness and velvety texture.

🪵 Traditional Craftsmanship

Crafted with a medium roast, Jin Liu Tiao achieves a balance between floral brightness and gentle fire. It brews up to 7–8 infusions with sustained aroma and complexity. A shining example of Wuyi’s terroir and tea-making heritage.
