- Description
- Tie Guan Yin is one of the most famous teas exported from China and an exemplary of Chinese oolongs. It has a history of around 300 years, and its varietal shares the same name. Compared with traditional style Tie Guan Yin, this modern style is less oxidized and less roasted (with a lower temperature and fewer times), highlighting its unique aroma resembling that of orchid flowers. This tea is floral and fresh, which gained it more popularity in the mass market than the traditional Tie Guan Yin. The autumn harvest tends to be more fragrant and rarer than spring harvest, thus it is coveted by many tea enthusiasts.

It’s my anniversary weekend and went out for a lovely brunch yesterday and today celebrated with my favorite oolong from the November box. I wish I had been proactive and purchased more back then.

Overnight cold brew! The color is a golden green. The orchid aroma and flavor are incredibly strong. It's a vegatal orchid taste, like drinking liquefied waxy leaves and petals. It… more

Overnight cold brew! The color is gold. The aroma and taste are orchid. There's a drying effect at the swallow. It's overall mild, but it pairs well with a strong dinner!

The dry leaves are compact and dark green. They unfurl really nicely when wet. The aroma is pure orchids. The taste is originally lightly roasted orchids, but it fades and becomes… more

Tea with tea pal club. Not my favorite tea meh, gardenia instead of orchid but always good to visit with everyone.

I used the Zhuni pot that may have muted the subtler flavors but it’s gardenia, mineral, buttery, salt but not much more for me. Missing body. Sits on the front of the tongue Bette… more

Amazing oolong with light buttery and fragrant notes. Very silky mouthfeel. Reminds me of the flowers woven into the beard of the Barong.
