The tea trees produced in Huiyuanyan Peak and the back mountain of Wuyishan Gongci have strange buds and leaves, light green leaves, white in the green, curved buds and sharp hairs, and the white cockscomb is like the head of a white golden pheasant. The cockscomb is on top, hence the name White Cockscomb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Cockscomb AKA White Rooster Crest, the translation of Bái Jī Guān, is one of the Sì Dà Míng Cóng, the 4 great bushes of Wuyi, and may be the most oddball oolongs.   An albino cultivar like the green tea Anji Bai Cha, the young spring growth flushes a white-ish yellow color (though eventually turning green like the rest of the bush later in the season) lacking typical chlorophyll.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVernally emerging as white and pigment-less, turning a yellow gold after a few days, and eventually to the standard darker-hued evergreen associated with the tea plant, Bai Ji Guan is harvested during this brief jin golden phase, also correlating to the time most favorable to harvest the standard one bud, three leaves one bud, four leaves plucking grade found in rock oolong.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout the ability to absorb light energy via photosynthesizing pigments, albino teas not only have a similarly irregular amino acid and polyphenol profile like shade-grown teas, but some of the associated taste differences as well. Humans are known to experience amino acids like L-Theanine as umami and sometimes sweet, catechins and other polyphenols as often bitter. With a potentially more umami, sweet, and less bitter profile due its albinism, this makes Bai Ji Guan a unique varietal just in this fact alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional craftsmanship: The craftsmanship of artificial tea has been handed down from generation to generation. Following dozens of craftsmanship, the craftsman spirit is carefully crafted to keep the essence of nature and at the same time stimulate the original fragrance and mellowness of tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique bright yellow fresh leaves with spiky edges resembling a pale rooster’s comb. Lighter roasted than most rock wulong to preserve the beautiful and unusual character of this albescent cultivar. Bai Ji Guan is traditionally the most delicate of the four famous rock wulongs, its vibrant orange brew bringing flavors unlike any of its peers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Brewing Rock Tea: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•Use a 120 ml white porcelain bowl with 8 grams of rock tea.\u003cbr\u003e•Before the official start of brewing, scald and wash all the tea sets (especially the white porcelain bowls) with 100°C boiling water.\u003cbr\u003e•When washing tea, close the lid immediately after pouring the water, and pour out the water quickly.
