From Verdant Tea

“The fresh autumn harvest of our famous Tieguanyin has just arrived! Try it at the very peak of its potent flavor and aroma…”

Last autumn’s Tieguanyin harvest quickly became one of the most popular teas we have ever offered. The farmers we work with in Anxi somehow manage every season to combine the floral ideals of spring, the grassy sweet ideals of autumn and a uniquely potent saffron aftertaste. Their autumn harvest tends to be the most robust and full-bodied. Last autumn, the Tieguanyin had a distinctive juiciness like biting into a perfectly fresh peach.

We work to get our fresh green teas and Tieguanyins on a plane as soon after picking as we can and spare no expense in our rush air shipping so that you can experience teas like this one at the peak of their potency.

As per usual, I’ll keep it short:
I’m getting two very strong notes here, a very floral, heady lilac and a mild spike of cinnamon. The two blend together beautifully and are so prominent that it’s almost hard to believe that this tea is completely unflavoured.

I drank this with two other people, and everyone agreed it was fresh and floral tasting (for me in particular it is pretty lavender-like). I’m also getting some notes in the background that remind of basil, and maybe even a hint of cinnamon that comes through once in awhile. A little bit of sweetness in there as well. Good, complex tea. Decent iced, but I prefer it hot and unsweetened.

We have tasted Tie Guan Yin Wang handpicked from Xiping, Anxi, from autumn 2012. Simply perfect. Smells like orange blossom while tastes like acacia blossom. Spring has come in winter! It keeps its flavour untill the eigth infusion… its leaves have a precious shape, one leave one pick. It has an emerald colour and a fresh aftertaste.

Gongfu-style in yixing pot. No rinse, brew times: 1m, 1:30m, 2m

Delectable! The color was bright yellow, the taste sensation was cleansing and light. The smell is sweet, like a flower in the morning.
