Our Roasted Tie Guan Yin makes the most of this classic oolong style, taking a few unexpected turns along the way. The hearty aroma never backs down, and the tea feels thicker—and tastes sweeter—than expected. It's nutty and very creamy: think macadamia nuts, with a roasted exterior giving way to buttery sweetness. If you follow each sip along to the end, you'll find a subtle mineral note. These large tea leaves perform well for many steeps, and make a compelling gong fu experience.
Tie Guan Yin (or Iron Goddess of Mercy) teas encompass a range of flavor, some roasted like this one, others lighter and more floral. We enjoy how this particular tea balances rich, hearty flavors with an undeniably smooth drinking experience.
