- Description
- Both cultivars used for this tea are originally from Fujian province but have been grown in Guizhou province for a few years. Jin Guan Yin is a hybrid between Tie Guan Yin and Huang Jin Gui, and Huang Guan Yin is a hybrid between Tie Guan Yin and Huang Dan. The processing technique of this tea follows that of Wuyishan, making this tea a great learning example of Fujian cultivar grown in a foreign province. Its dry leaves are tender and tight, the aroma high and lingering, the taste smooth and sweet, and the liquor golden and bright.

Bright gold liquor, malty pleasant fragrance, not sweet taste (but maybe I lost a bit of sense of taste due to ongoing COVID symptoms) 😅
