Tieguanyin

This Fancy Grade Tie Guan Yin offers a robust aroma and an incredibly smooth character. It unfurls with a captivating bitter-sweet aftertaste that lingers gracefully, showcasing its complex and balanc. It leans floral, sweet and mineral.

Water around 85–95 °C (185–205 °F). In a mug, steep 3–4 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–30 s steeps (8–15 rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Heavier roasts can take boiling water no problem.

Grown in Fujian, China from the Tieguanyin cultivar.
