Premium Tie Guan Yin
Our current picking of premium Tie Guan Yin hails from XiPing district, in Anxi county. The particular tasting qualities of this region's teas are a mellow orchid scent, with a lighter and sweeter finish than many other varieties. The colour is a very pale yellow-green and extremely transparent. This is an excellent new-styled Tie Guan Yin tea and is well respected by those searching for quality Tie Guan Yin that breaks with the more roasted-style traditional varieties.
