Tie Guan Yin Oolong

Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea is one of the famous Oolong Tea in Anxi County, China. This Oolong is typically close to a green tea, with only a little oxidation. Consequently, Tie Guan Yin Oolong has a very flowery, delicate aroma without the green tea "grassiness" or astringency. The tea leaves from Anxi County are known for their overwhelming floral fragrance. They are lightly oxidized and rolled into very tight balls, using a technique known as "baorou." They slowly open up while steeping, releasing their flavor and floral aroma, eventually revealing whole leaves.

Brewing Instructions:

Tie Guan Yin Oolong is best steeped traditionally in a yixing teapot. Fill the teapot 2 grams (1-2 teaspoons) tea leaves for every 225ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 95°c (203°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing. May be infused 2-4 times.
