“An interesting Tie Guan Yin. More citrus-y and creamy than the floral you normally get from a TGY. Reminds me of an orange creamsicle. Taste lingers and continues throughout the steepings. Very...” Read full tasting note
As rare as it gets, this is on par with the highest elevation and quality we can offer from our Jade Oolong collection. The tea tree itself not only grows in a extremely high altitude, but the Tie Guan Yin varietal grown at such high altitudes is very rare since harvest quantity is very low (compared to Qing Xin varietal).
Traditionally most of the High Mountain Oolongs grown at Li Shan (Da Yu Ling and Fu Shou Shan) are Qin Xin Oolong varietal, but this lovely tea was made from Hong Xin Wai Wei Tao, the varietal that is mostly utilized to process as traditional Tie Guan Yin (鐵觀音). The result is remarkable, in that it offers an absolutely unique and eye-opening experience to Jade Oolong tea lovers. It has a mellow yet complex layered body that separates it from a Qing Xin Li Shan Jade Oolong.
