Tie Guan Yin
The famed Tie Guan Yin's floral aroma can be recognized and appreciated from a distance, highlighting the unique and powerful qualities it possesses beyond so many other Oolongs. This particular picking from the famous GanDe region in Anxi county was chosen for its well-balanced characteristics, especially the light floral sweetness that emerges over several infusions.

Instructions: For gongfu-style tea tasting, fill the vessel with one and a half teaspoons of tea leaves (usually about 7g for a regular-size Gaiwan) and pour on the hot water for a quick washing. Discard the water and gently pour on the hot water again and let steep for 10-20 seconds. Decant and serve! Increase the steeping time gradually with each additional infusion.
