Tieguanyin (TGY) is one of the most famous teas in the world. Coming from Anxi, China, TGY is known for its beautiful floral notes and intoxicating aroma. I searched high and low for a TGY that would be the purest representation of the expert hand-processing that has become far too rare in modern tea production, and I am proud to say that I found it! The cost is extremely high, but I’m offering this tea with barely any markup so that you can experience the purest and most decadent example of Anxi Tieguanyin that I’ve had the pleasure to drink!
Autumn Jade Tieguanyin is absolutely stunning to look at. The greenest of greens, an almost emerald-like shine to the dry leaf, this oolong is beautiful! I’ve learned though that you can’t always judge a tea by its visual appearance, but in this case, the beauty of the leaf translates straight into the flavor! Opening up with thick, luscious lilac notes, floating through a buttery body, Autumn Jade TGY is pure nectar! Mid-sip presents a light pine note, a hint of pear, and a creamy mouthfeel. The finish hints at nutmeg and honeysuckle nectar, leaving you with a cooling sensation from your throat to your lips. That sweet finish lingers for literally hours after the last sip.
I am very proud to have sourced this stunning tea and hope that you get the chance to enjoy it as well!
