Sourced from the Heart of Anxi, Fujian
This exceptional Jade Tie Guan Yin is sourced from the Xiping High Mountain Tea Garden in Anxi County, Fujian, China. The region’s unique climate and mountainous terrain offer the perfect conditions for growing high-quality oolong tea leaves. The cool temperatures and misty mornings help preserve the delicate aromas and flavors, while the traditional cultivation techniques passed down through generations ensure that each leaf is of the highest quality. The end result is a tea that delivers smooth, floral notes with every steep.
For an elegant way to store your loose-leaf tea, consider investing in a Vintage tea caddy, which will keep your tea fresh and ready to brew at any time.
The Hidden Aroma: A Subtle Delight
One of the most captivating features of this tea is its hidden aroma, which gradually unfurls with each infusion. At first, the fragrance is delicate, but with each subsequent steep, the hidden depth of its aroma emerges, offering a new dimension of flavor with every sip. The tea offers notes of orchid and honey, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy more nuanced and complex flavor profiles. This lightly fragrant oolong is perfect for tea drinkers who prefer subtler aromas that evolve with each brew.
To further enhance your experience, pair this tea with a Zisha teapot, known for its ability to improve the flavors of oolong tea through its porous, purple clay material.
Perfect Brewing for Maximum Flavor
To bring out the best in this oolong tea, we recommend brewing it at a temperature of around 85–90°C (185–194°F). Use about 5g of tea leaves for 150ml of water and steep for 1–2 minutes for the first infusion. With each subsequent brew, feel free to increase the steep time slightly to extract more of the subtle, evolving flavors. The tea can be steeped multiple times, with each infusion providing a new flavor experience.
For precise brewing, a gaiwan tea set is an excellent choice, allowing you to control the temperature and steeping time for optimal flavor extraction.
