This tea is based on Zheng Cong Tieguanyin cultivar of Camellia
sinensis. Tea leaves come from Long Juan tea garden in Anxi which is quite new
but possesses a very clean and potent soil excellent for tea growing. The
processing of this baked Tie Guan Yin tea is complex and requires expertise. It
takes 3 hours to get from the fresh-scent type to the roasted type by baking it
slowly over charcoal fire (100℃). By following this method the
resulting liquor is clear, golden yellow with some light red hues. A hint of
flower sweetness and baked notes can be recognizable in the first brew. The 2nd
brew is very clear and the baked notes become more distinct. The 3rd brew tends
to be more floral with a decent mellow
aftertaste. All subsequent brews can still make a very interesting pallete in
your mouth and throat. Tasting of Tie Guan Yin tea is a journey which will always
take you to a slightly different place.
