Ti Kuan Yin can either mean a variety of a Oolong tea tree or a unique production method. For a tea to be called Original Ti Kuan Yin, it must fulfill the two aforementioned aspects. The tea tree produces much less leaves than other varieties and is more difficult to maintain. The production method is complicated as the tea leaves must be repeatedly rolled and cloth twisted and then charcoal roasted for several days.
The tea of the Ti Kuan Yin carries a dense ripe fruit aroma and has a clear amber color. Each sip of the tea is rich and full-bodied. It starts off slightly bitter and astringent but then transforms into being dry sweet. Also, it has a slight citrus taste that lingers in the drinker’s throat. The tea’s honey aroma stays at the bottom of the cup and allows the drinker to experience the tea over and over again.

A year after, my perception of this tea has shift much, as I have gained considerably experience since the trip I took to Fang last January. I went through a period of brewing this tea badly, under poor conditions and not being deliberate or considerate about the process. Now, at home, with time, this tea again breathes many of the flavors I originally appreciate it for. Currants, gingseng, buckwheat honey, cranberries, and chervil. I also know now that it’s not quite as good as I once thought it to be, but that it’s still a respectable roasted oolong, although perhaps, not at its going price.
