Summer honeydew melon, spiced honey, vanilla, sweet grass, nutmeg.
Deeply present floral aroma emerges just after steeping this gem of a Tie Guan Yin. This is the most honey-taste (mi xiang) Tie Guan Yin I’ve every come across, as most are more assertive, and edgy or blunt. This tea is playful and energetic, yet contained and focused in its floral aromatic direction. A real treasure.
This Tie Guan Yin varietal was originally brought from Fujian, China to Taiwan, where it was able to adapt to the more rocky, steep terrain. The northern Muzha preparation techniques that involve deeper roasting and longer oxidation are used to make this oolong, though the leaves come the more desirable Ali Shan mountain range in central Taiwan.
Brew this high mountain oolong with 195 degree water for 1 minute. Add a minute to the brewing time with each additional infusion.

3g/50ml porcelain 212F
This is Alishan TGY. Dry leaf is highly aromatic of fruits, nuts and some floral. This tea takes boil temp well. It has tropical fruits notes (pineapple, lychee), roasted nuts and some florals on the background. Later steeps brought up dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg, mineral and slight pleasant bitterness typical to TGY. Some florals but it’s more fruity than floral if it makes sense. Later steeps I transferred leaves to my Hokujo kyusu which holds temp better than porcelain. I suggest you to drink it while it’s hot. As it cools bitterness is more pronounced. .
This Alishan TGY is very nice. If you like Muzha TGY you will enjoy it as well. I find it less finicky than Muzha and wallet friendly too .
