The most famous oolong in China, from Anxi, the town that grows the finest Tie Guan Yin in the world. Semi-oxidised and lightly roasted, the tightly rolled leaves open in the cup to a clear yellow-green liquor with a high floral aroma over gentle roasted undertones.

The flavour is strong yet smooth, and the aftertaste is faintly sweet and fresh, lasting long after the sip. Steep in a Yixing pot or covered cup, and the leaves give many infusions, each one opening a little further.

  • Origin: Anxi, Fujian, China · traditional roast
  • Tasting: Floral · Roasted · Sweet
