Grown at the high altitude of Anxi Mountains, our Tenyu Tieguanyin is harvested in early spring. The Tieguanyin growing plant climate is reminiscent of the cool air that emanates near a fast-running mountain stream. The aroma is persistent and fresh, and the flavor is refreshing and sweet with an earthy undertone.
We like its richness and softness and roundness on the palate. There is nothing shy about this tea, but it stops short of being stony and ‘green’. This tea is a solid everyday tea that reminds us of the way Tieguanyins were in the past: rich, mid-oxidized, and slightly fired. |
