Product Details:

Tieguanyin is a type of Chinese oolong tea, but also the name of the tea cultivar. Like all royal teas, tieguanyin is made from the Camellia sinensis tea plant. It can be made with the tieguanyin cultivar or other tea cultivars. Some Tieguanyin teas may even be a blend of different tea cultivars. Authentic Tieguanyin oolong should always come from Anxi. Today, other areas are also producing this tea. Although it may be similar in shape and even flavor, it is not considered authentic. There are other teas very similar to tieguanyin, such as maoxie oolong, huangjingui oolong or benshan oolong.

What also makes this tea unique is that it is actually a very broad category of teas. They can be more or less oxidized, more or less toasted, and have a different flavor profile. What is common to all of them is that they all have leaves in the shape of small, tightly rolled balls and do not contain branches. For example, when brewing Taiwanese high mountain teas, you will see a bud and some leaves attached to a branch. Tieguanyin contains leaves only.

Flavor and Taste

Tieguanyin can be roasted, aged or unroasted and very fresh and green. There are two main types of tieguanyin tea: traditional or chuan tong tieguan yin and modern or qing xiang tieguanyin. Modern styles of tieguanyin tea have a bright emerald to bright yellow color, with floral and creamy notes. This style is the most popular style today. Traditional tie guan yin is more oxidized and more baked. It is soft, with toasted and fruity notes, and a heavier and more complex aroma. Tieguanyin can have many flavor notes: roasted, nutty, creamy, fruity, roasted, honey, floral, fresh, vegetal and mineral. Generally, tea that is less baked and oxidized will have a fresher, more vegetal flavor.

Preparation

Tieguanyin is one of the best oolong teas to try if you are a tea beginner. You can prepare this tea in many ways and you can even use boiling water without ruining the taste.

Western-style regular brewing

Use about 1-1 ½ teaspoons of tea leaves per cup of water. Bring the water to a boil and allow it to cool to 95℃. Brew tea leaves for 1-2 minutes. Soak again.

brewing cup

Tieguanyin is one of those teas that you can easily make even if you have nothing more than a cup. The tea leaves will expand to fill up to 1/3 of the cup and will remain at the bottom when you drink. Put about 2-3 grams of tea leaves in a cup and pour the water over the tea leaves. Drink while it's still hot. Add more water for a second infusion.

Simplified Gong-fu style brewing

If you want to enjoy all the delicate flavor notes of this tea, always use the multi-step technique. Place around 5-7 grams of tea leaves in a preheated teapot. Use 120-150 ml of water. Bring the water to a boil and allow it to cool to 95℃. Start with a very short infusion to wash the leaves. The first infusion to drink should last about 20-30 seconds. Increase brew time with each infusion. The same tea leaves will give between 5 and 10 infusions.

The reward was a tea plant that brought him prosperity after he planted it in his garden.
