Description

According to the Chinese on the back, this TieGuanYin is from Fujian, Anxi County. It’s a ‘Grade 1’ tea (there is also mention of ‘top grade’, I’m not sure whether the grading system ascends or descends – some clarification would be appreciated), but I think this may be a marketing term. Something about lots of rainfall and tasting as good as it smells and looks…

The brewing method says to take 7~10g and steep with 100 degree Celsius water for 1~2 Minutes.

It says you can brew these leaves 8~10 Times.

It has a very fresh grassy taste to it, without an over-bitterness.
