  • Tie Guan Yin from Xiang Hua village in Anxi county was carefully picked and then roasted by hand over pine wood charcoal. The process is repeated many times until the tea has been heavily roasted and becomes almost black in color. The result is a highly aromatic tea that can be infused more than 10 times without losing much flavor. The tea soup is a bright red color and the taste is sweet and full with a kind of chocolaty aftertaste.
  • This Charcoal Baked Tie Guan Yin tea is the result of traditional growing, harvesting and long roasting methods employed by artisan farmers in one of the world’s most highly regarded tea-growing areas. The flavour of this tea is soft and sweet with a warming toasted grain overtone provided by the long, slow roasting of the tea leaves. This mellows to a honeyed, coating aftertaste with a hint of spice.
  • Origin & History
    The history of tea production in Xianghua can be traced back to the Five Dynasties. During the Xiande period of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhan Dunren, who lived in seclusion in Foer Mountain, discussed Zen with the monk Shi Hongdao over tea, leaving behind the famous sentence "Tea cannot be cooked, but it is Zen".
    The "Anxi County Chronicles" of the Ming Dynasty recorded that Chongxinli (now Xianghua) was an important tea-producing area. The hometowns of historical celebrities such as Li Guangdi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty, and Chen Wance, a Jinshi, have added cultural depth to this land.
  • In the 1980s, the local government promoted the large-scale planting of Tieguanyin, which transformed Xianghua from a poor township into the core production area of "China's Oolong Tea Hometown".
  • The unique natural conditions of Xianghua Township, coupled with the unique and exquisite traditional production technology of the hardworking and wise Xianghua tea farmers, are a clever combination of heaven, earth, and man, making Xianghua Tieguanyin the leader in both output and quality, and famous throughout the country.
  • The name Tie Guan Yin translates exactly to “Iron Avalokitesvara” who is the Bodhisattva of compassion in Buddhism, and refers to the varietal the tea is made from. Tie Guan Yin is almost always tightly rolled, and can have a varied level of oxidation or roast. It is grown mainly in Anxi County, in Northern Fujian Provence.
  • Gaiwan Brewing Method: 
    •Wash the teaset with boiling water.
    •Put Tieguanyin tea into the tea set, and the amount of tea placed accounts for about five points of the capacity of the tea set.
    •Pour the boiling water into the Gaiwan to make the tea leaves turn;
    •Gently scrape off the floating white foam with the lid to make it fresh and clean.
    •Pour the tea water that has been steeped for one or two minutes into the juxtaposed teacups in turn.
    •When the tea is poured into a little, it should be dripped evenly into each cup;
    •Observe the color of the tea in the cup.
    •Take the heat and sip, first smell its fragrance, then taste its flavor, smell it while sipping, pour it lightly, and drink it carefully. Although the amount of drinking is not much, it can leave a fragrance on the cheeks, the bottom of the throat is sweet, the heart is relaxed and happy, and there is no fun.

Excellent Taste and Quality!

It appears to handpicked (a good sign) and doesn't include sticks and stems like lower grade teas (also a good sign). This tea has a bold yet delicate flavor, definitely a butteriness on the palette like the description says. I would absolutely recommend this tea to anyone who enjoys oolong teas or loves tea in general!

Excellent tea and an excellent guide to drinking tea

Excellent tea and an excellent guide to drinking tea. I have been brewing my own purchased tea for thirty years but MORIMA TEA's tips on brewing were helpful. It seems maybe I was using too hot of my water. Things are good and tea makes it that way. Oolong has been my favorite for years and nothing better than sitting down to draw in my sketchbook with a pot of oolong. thanks.

Best Oolong

I used to enjoy the unique deep flavor of loose oolong tea. Currently I could not find anything to match that flavor until I tried this roasted tie guan yin tea. It is authentic and rich and a little goes a long way. I ordered a second packet right away in case it goes out of stock!
