Our Traditional Tie Guanyin is a stunning version of one of China's most beloved and famous oolong teas. Grown in the lush Anxi region, deep in Fujian province, the tea bushes are allowed to grow in a pristine and crystal clear environment at high altitude. These altitudes give the tea its unique character through cooler temperatures and natural mists, allowing the leaves to mature slowly and develop a deep flavour profile. The tea leaves are hand-picked with care, an endeavour carried out with great attention to detail and traditional craftsmanship.<\/p>\n
In the manufacturing process, Traditional Tie Guanyin undergoes a careful and slow roasting process, where the tea leaves are roasted in several stages to bring out their full depth of flavour. This time-consuming method gives the tea its characteristic, full-bodied flavour and brings out both its round, buttery texture and fresh green undertones. In the cup, Traditional Tie Guanyin offers a mild butteriness, fresh greenness and a light note of lilac, a flavour profile that is both complex and balanced. The aftertaste is long, smooth and clear, making it a lingering experience.<\/p>\n
The tea estate behind our Tie Guanyin has a strong philosophy of sustainable farming, committed to protecting both the environment and the flavour of their tea. The tea is grown without the use of pesticides or fertilisers, using natural methods that strengthen the health of the soil and the natural resilience of the tea bushes. .<\/p>\n
