Tie Guan Yin Black Tea

Discover a rare sophistication. Famous worldwide as an Oolong, the legendary "Iron Goddess of Mercy" (Tie Guan Yin) cultivar reveals a completely different soul when processed as a fully oxidised Black Tea.

Unlike robust breakfast teas that can be brisk or astringent, Tie Guan Yin Black Tea is renowned for its velvety smoothness. The natural thickness of the Tie Guan Yin leaf, rich in pectin, creates a tea soup that is soft, coating, and naturally sweet.

The Experience The cup glows a brilliant translucent ruby. On the palate, it delivers deep, warming notes of caramel, baked sweet potato, and red dates, finished with a hint of wildflower honey. The classic orchid floral note of the cultivar remains, but it is subtle, floating over a rich, fruity base.

Highlights

• No Bitterness: The unique cultivar ensures a silky taste that needs no milk or sugar.

• Gentle Energy: Considered a "warming" tea in Chinese tradition, it is soothing for the stomach.

• High Endurance: Unlike standard black teas, these robust leaves maintain their flavor through 5+ steepings.

Sourced from Anxi, Fujian, this is a masterpiece that bridges the floral elegance of Oolong with the comforting depth of Black Tea.
