Tieguanyin tea is named after the Bodhisattva of Compassion (guanyin), reminding one of the use of tea by Buddhist monks as a stimulating refreshment during long periods of meditation. Tie means iron, and while the name Tieguanyin describes a metal statue of the Bodhisattva, the reddish color of the brewed tea is surprisingly close to that of iron ore. Dry Tieguanyin has a very distinctive roasted aroma and when brewed possesses a smooth, sweet, woody flavor that is robust and satisfying. |

Premium Spring 2009 Tieguanyin Drier than the other recent batches, the flavor of this tea has a refined smokiness that lingers at the roof of the mouth. It is lighter than the "old-school" tieguanyin teas and very smooth--a new take on a traditionally-styled tea. |

Premium Winter 2008 Tieguanyin Old-school flavor meets modern technique in this excellent tea, which is thoroughly smoky with a mocha aroma from the dry leaves. This batch is something of a throwback with its overt smoky qualities and dry finish, but it also has a certain lightness of body and is very smooth. A must-try for Tieguanyin aficionados. |
