This autumn Tie Guan Yin was produced by Lin Yongyuan on Shimen Mountain in Gande, Anxi, where the tea garden sits at approximately 825 meters on steep, weathered rocky terrain. The southeast-facing garden is planted with the traditional Hong Xin Wai Wei Tao cultivar, with taller tea bushes maintained under semi-wild conditions. According to Lin, the garden receives no fertilizer or herbicides, with vegetation growing naturally alongside the tea trees and occasional manual weeding.

Harvested on October 8, 2026, the leaves were selectively hand-picked and processed the following day using traditional zheng chao (正炒) methods. Sun-withering, repeated tossing and resting, and careful timing of fixation help develop and preserve the tea's natural character before the leaves are tightly rolled.

Named Yun Sheng Xiang (韵生香), loosely meaning "fragrance born from lingering charm," this selection is particularly prized by Lin for its pronounced Guan Yin Yun (观音韵). He describes a smooth, rich liquor followed by an enduring orchid fragrance that fills the mouth and lingers long after each sip.

Looking forward to tasting this tea with you at our event!

I started in 2017 with gongfu cha through a care package from a tea friend. I love the interaction at the gatherings with tea pals and the good talks about tasting notes, daily life and other perspectives.
