Jin Guan Yin (金观音) is a cross between Tie Guan Yin and Huang Jing Gui! Young Huang Jin Gui tea bushes are cut and then Tie Guan Yin varietal is grafted with it. After 2 years the plant is producing this “Gold Guan Yin”!
The taste and aroma is very unique carrying with it the thick sweet after-taste of Huang Jin Gui (as well as increased infusability) but has the penetrating aroma and unique Guan Yin taste! There is a slight creamy almost milk aroma to it in early infusions!

Yunnan SourcingTaste wise, it has that lovely freshness I associate with the premium YS anxi’s. It really tastes clean, lovely & green. There is a slight citrus-y brightness as well as the perfumed guan yin, but both of these are melded into a variant taste, it has a nice balance with the freshness, which seems its almost trying for high-mountain style, like an anxi but standing on its tip-toes. :)
Really nice tea, but not sure if it deserves the ‘imperial AAA grade’ as there is varying sized balls, lots of broken hacked small pieces. The picture on the website & here is true to how it comes, which is a complete difference to the solid, same-sized imperial TGY, for example.
I would still recommend though, its a really nice brew.
