Medium oxidised higher category Chinese Oolong tea, in which it is possible to observe the properties of top quality Tie Guan Yin teas. The leaves are carefully coiled into even nuggets in order to preserve their freshness, and shortly after pouring on water they unfurl into large, dark leaves, which produce a deep, gold infusion with a rich, honeyed fruity sweet taste and aroma. Experienced tasters regard Tie Guan Yin teas as very subjective teas as regarding their sensory perceptions.

Brewing guide
Prepare tested water for the tea infusion with which you have experience, or use ordinary tap water which has been left standing for a sufficient period, preferably overnight, ideally rid of chlorine. Rinse the teapot and cups with hot water. Use approx. 3g of tea leaves (2 teaspoons) for each 150ml of infusion or to taste. Brew the necessary quantity of tea in hot water at a temperature of 85-90°C for a period of 3-5 minutes for the first and second infusions. With further infusions progressively extend the brewing time. For a full flavour it is necessary for the leaves to unfurl entirely.
