The Legendary Tie Guan Yin. Cuttings were taken from its native AnXi, Fujian, and planted in Northern Taiwan. With these cuttings also came a tradition of great tea growers and roasters. This tea is heavy & twisted like pounded iron with a mineral & orchid aroma
as delicate as the Goddess Guan Yin that inspired its naming. Picked late at night to increase oxidization time, then carefully baked & rolled over 3 days. Its trademark is a slightly sour finish & a smoothness in the back of one‘s throat emanating its’ fragrance.
