I think this is the right listing. I have a little white Bitterleaf Teas envelope that I labeled “tieguanyin, fall picking, fall countdown 2024 #4.” It’s definitely from the most recent Tea Thoughts countdown box, but I can’t find the document with detailed info now and I did not label it clearly enough before putting it away. I could just ask Nazanin – she’s been super helpful in the past when this has happened before – but I think she’s gearing up for the holiday sales and this doesn’t seem worth wasting her time with right now. So I’m going with my best guess and a giant asterisk on this tasting note.
As for the tea itself, it’s not what I’ve come to expect from a tieguanyin! No roastiness or minerality at all. Instead, this is very creamy and buttery, green and gently floral. If I were guessing, I’d think this was a milk oolong, not a tieguanyin!
